THE NAMES OF LOVE
September 23-25
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm

“Forestier’s performance is a tour de force of comic acting, maintaining astonishing alertness, and energy from shot to shot and scene to scene.” Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle. A young, extroverted left-wing activist who sleeps with her political opponents to convert them to her cause is successful until she meets her match.
100 minutes; French, with English subtitles

RESTLESS

Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm

Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting), Restless follows two outsiders (Henry Hopper and Mia Wasikowska) who chance to meet at a funeral and find unexpected common ground in their unique experiences of the world.

THE WHISTLEBLOWER
October 14-16
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm

“This accomplished debut feature avoids most of the usual pitfalls, channeling its outrage into a tense, focused piece of storytelling with a powerful sense of empathy.” Justin Chang, Variety. Inspired by actual events, Rachel Weisz stars as an American police officer who takes a job working as a peacekeeper in postwar Bosnia. Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up, and intrigue amid a world of private contractors and multinational diplomatic doubletalk.
112 minutes

THE FUTURE
October 21-23
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday no noon show time, 2 pm, and 4 pm

“On the surface, this film is an enchanting meditation. At its core is the hard steel of individuality.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. When a couple decides to adopt a stray cat their perspective on life changes radically, literally altering the course of time and space and testing their faith in each other and themselves.
91 minutes

THE HEDGEHOG
Friday, October 28-30
Friday 6 and 8 pm; Saturday 5 pm; Sunday noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm

Paloma is a serious, but deeply bored eleven-year-old, who has decided to kill herself on her twelfth birthday. But as her appointment with death approaches, Paloma finally meets some kindred spirits, her building’s grumpy concierge, and an enigmatic, elegant neighbor, both of whom inspire Paloma to question her rather pessimistic outlook on life.
100 minutes; French, with English subtitles
