QUEEN TO PLAY
July 1-3
“Caroline Bottaro’s tangy comic bonbon, Queen to Play, plucks the game of chess out of the metaphorical realm of spy thrillers and reimagines it as a fable about relationships and upward mobility.” Stephen Holden, New York Times. Sandrine Bonnaire and Kevin Kline (in his first entirely French-speaking role) shine in this sophisticated feel-good comedy set in idyllic Corsica. Middle-aged chambermaid Hélène’s newfound obsession with the game of chess leads her to seek the tutelage of a reclusive American expat, transforming both of their ho-hum lives in the process.
97 minutes; French, with English subtitles

LET’S DANCE
Summer Film Fest 2011
July 8-10 and July 15-17

L’AMOUR FOU
July 22-24
“Pierre Thoretton’s L’Amour Fou, not to be confused with the [Jacques] Rivette film of the same name, is a consummately clear-headed documentary that honors the allure of its subject by being personal but never intimately so.” Simon Abrams, Slant. This stylish documentary follows Yves Saint Laurent through his career, starting as an assistant to Christian Dior and develops into a life full of fame, celebration, and meeting the most well-known people in the world, but also one of despair and depression. 98 minutes; French, with English subtitles

THE ROBBER
July 29-31
“Against interpretation, [Benjamin] Heisenberg (who is, after all, the grandson of the physicist who gave us the uncertainty principle) has nonetheless created a nimble, dynamic character study of a fiercely guarded loner on the run.” Melissa Anderson, Village Voice. The Robber tells the true story of Johann Kastenberger, a marathon athlete who turned to robbing banks as a hobby. 88 minutes; German, with English subtitles

BEATS, RHYMES & LIFE: THE TRAVELS OF A TRIBE CALLED QUEST
August 5-7
Having forged a 20-year run as one of the most innovative and influential hip-hop bands of all time, the Queens, New York, collective known as a Tribe Called Quest have kept a generation hungry for more of their groundbreaking music since their much publicized breakup in 1998. Michael Rapaport documents the inner workings and behind-the-scenes drama that follows the band to this day. He explores what’s next for, what many claim, are the pioneers of alternative rap.
98 minutes
