"Rather dark, decidedly English, and exceedingly well played, Keeping Mum is a neatly crafted black comedy with more than a nod in tone toward the Ealing classic The Ladykillers." — Derek Elley, Variety.

Rowan Atkinson ( Mr. Bean ) plays a well-meaning vicar in the country village of Little Wallop, and Dame Maggie Smith plays his charming and discreet new housekeeper in this hilariously twisted version of Mary Poppins.

Rated R for language and sexual situations

103 minutes

THE CAVE OF THE YELLOW DOG
January 5 – 7

"Davaa's strong visual sense, engaging cast and respect for basic film grammar make this slim exercise in managed reality go the distance." — Derek Elley, Variety.

From the director of The Story of the Weeping Camel, this heartwarming docudrama focuses on a Mongolian family of nomads, their traditional way of life, and the rising call of the City.

93 minutes; Mongolian with English subtitles

VOLVER
January 12-14, 19-21, AND 26-28
Fridays 6 and 8:15 pm, Saturdays 5 pm, Sundays 2 and 4:15 pm

The female ensemble cast, including a critically acclaimed performance from Penelope Cruz, jointly won the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress portraying three generations of women who survive the east wind, fire, insanity, superstition, and even death by means of goodness, lies, and boundless vitality.

"Volver is not a surrealistic comedy although it may seem so at times. The living and the dead coexist without any discord, causing situations that are either hilarious or filled with a deep, genuine emotion. It's a film about the culture of death in my native La Mancha. The people there practice it with an admirable naturalness. The way in which the dead continue to be present in their lives, the richness and humanity of their rites, mean that the dead never die." — Pedro Almodóvar

R for sexual content and language
121 minutes; Spanish with English subtitles
