“Sweeping and precisely observed...with transparent compassion but none of the sentimentalizing that softens and cheapens too many mob stories.” (New York Times)

France’s official Academy Award submission and the winner of the Grand Prize at Cannes, this sensational drama is from Jacques Audiard (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, Read My Lips). The story of an illiterate Arab teenager who lands in a French prison and learns to navigate the lethal alliances and rivalries of its power structure, it’s raw, intense, and unforgettable. Featuring the quietly compelling debut of Tahar Rahim.

Our current engagement with A Prophet has been rescheduled to open on Friday, March 12.

 "Every second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent." (USA Today)

Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer, both nominated for Academy Awards for their performances, dazzle in this captivating look at the turbulent final year in the life of Leo Tolstoy. As Tolstoy (Plummer) becomes increasingly radical with age, he decides to reject his vast wealth—much to the dismay of his wife, the Countess Sofya (Mirren). The desperate countess is soon employing every trick she can muster to seduce her husband’s loyal disciple (James McAvoy), the man she blames for Tolstoy’s new will. Much more than a simple period biopic, The Last Station is high drama, filled with intrigue, sensuality, and a classical marital showdown featuring two legends in prime form.

“The slow-motion hijacking of the world’s greatest privately held art collection is documented in impeccable, heartrending fashion.” (Variety)

About 100 years ago a great epic of art-world politics began when Albert C. Barnes started to buy paintings. His collection, eventually worth billions, would grow to include 181 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, 59 Matisses, and 46 Picassos. Committed to keeping the works out of the hands of Philadelphia’s high-society “philistines,” Barnes housed his collection four miles outside of town and stipulated in his will that it never be loaned, sold, or moved. But since his death the philistines have been circling—and now they’ve swooped in to seize the spoils. It’s a nail-biter of a story that was the single most talked-about documentary at the New York Film Festival.

"Minute for minute, likely the most engaging, irresistible film in the Sundance Film Festival." (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times)

Winning Time tells of Reggie Miller's gravity-defying, razor-tongued, and otherwise career-defining performance that single-handedly led the Indiana Pacers to an astonishing victory over the rival New York Knicks. Peabody Award-winning director Dan Klores goes beyond courtside theatrics in favor of a humorous, complex look at the psychology of the game and its players. Both die-hard fans and basketball tenderfeet will enjoy this entertaining look at how Miller proudly built his legend as "The Garden's Greatest Villain." As Variety raved: "Hitting from the top of the key, Dan Klores'... bouncy play-by-play covers psychological moves more than physical ones, resulting in a pic that stretches past sports."

Q&A director/producer Dan Klores, and editor/producer David Zieff, will be interviewed by New York Times critic Janet Maslin

"The Runaways bursts with energy, youth, excess, female empowerment, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. It's an instant hit worldwide with its cast of young stars." (Hollywood Reporter)

A no-holds-barred look at the all-girl rock band as they smoke, snort, and shimmy their way to fame in the late 1970s, The Runaways is a flashy, fun ride. Kristen Stewart is spot on as leather-clad bad girl Joan Jett, but it's Dakota Fanning, in an eye opening breakthrough role, who steals the show as "cherry bomb" Cherie Currie. Dressed up in their best glam-rock jail-bait outfits, these two chicks take no prisoners as they tear through their songs—and eventually each other. Excessive? Maybe. Yet then again, as the wise sage Howlin' Wolf once said, "The men don't know, but the little girls understand."
