Brighton Rock
November 4-6
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm
"The film is almost distractingly beautiful to look at, something that accentuates the tension between the film's conflicting quantities, i.e., the glories of the physical world, and the corrupted humanity it hosts." John Anderson, Wall Street Journal. Helen Mirren and John Hurt star in this adaptation of Graham Greene's classic novel about a small-town hoodlum who marries a waitress after she witnesses him commit a murder. As his gang begins to doubt his abilities, the man becomes more desperate and violent.
NR; 111 minutes
Take Shelter
November 11-13
Friday 6 pm, no 8 pm showtime; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday 2 pm, and 4:15 pm, no noon showtime
"A dazzling piece of filmmaking, and much of the dazzle-as well as the anguished darkness-comes from Adam Stone's cinematography, which expresses the swirling state of Curtis's mind with richly varied flavors of light." Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal. Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.
R; 120 minutes
The Skin I Live In
November 18-20
Friday 6 and 8:15 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2:15 pm, and 4:30 pm
In this latest offering from Spanish master director Pedro Almodóvar, a brilliant plastic surgeon (Antonio Banderas), haunted by past tragedies, creates a type of synthetic skin that withstands any kind of damage. His guinea pig is a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession.
R, for disturbing violent content including sexual assault, strong sexuality, graphic nudity, drug use, and language; 117 minutes; Spanish, with English subtitles
Love Crime
November 25-27
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm
"The goal of this review-why not just say it?-is to disclose as little about the story as possible while instilling a ravenous and even rabid desire to see Love Crime immediately." Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle. A ruthless executive (Kristin Scott Thomas) mentors her young assistant (Ludivine Sagnier), and delights in toying with the young woman's innocence.
NR; 104 minutes; French, with English subtitles
The Mill and the Cross
December 2-4
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm
"In this lush and hypnotic examination of a painter's work and the times in which he lived, Mr. Majewski presents an extended contemplation of the creative process itself." Daniel M. Gold, New York Times. Fascinated by the director Lech Majewski's painterly vision, Michael Francis Gibson gave him a copy of his book The Mill and the Cross, an analysis of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting The Way to Calvary (1564). Majewski, whose creative journey began with painting and poetry, admired the depth of Gibson's insight into Bruegel's painting and began creating a visual equivalent of the Flemish master's work. It took Majewski three years to complete the film-three years spent weaving an enormous digital tapestry composed of layer upon layer of perspective, atmospheric phenomena, and people.
NR; 92 minutes; English and Spanish
Mozarts Sister
December 9-11
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday 2 pm, and 4 pm, no noon showtime
"Mozart’s Sister is consequently gorgeous, with candlelit shots looking like old master paintings-a fine match for music that takes your breath away." Bob Mondello, NPR. Beginning in 1763, the film follows the Mozart family's exhausting life on the road, traveling by coach from one royal court to the next.
NR; 120 minutes; French, with English subtitles
