A Serious Man

“New Releases”

"A tart, brilliantly acted fable of life’s little cosmic difficulties." (Chicago Tribune)

The Coen Brothers' (No Country for Old Men) signature humor and cinematic imagination take on questions of faith, familial responsibility, delinquent behavior, dental phenomena, academia, mortality, and Judaism in their hot awaited new film, A Serious Man. It’s the story of Larry Gopnik, a suburban Jewish physics professor who is plagued with a dysfunctional family, a vindictive neighbor, and a grade-grubbing foreign exchange student who is threatening his long-nurtured chance for tenure. In a moment of existential desperation, he turns to three rabbis for help. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions and become a righteous person—a mensch—a serious man?

Capitalism: A Love Story

“Global Watch 2009: Crisis, Culture & Human Rights”

"Capitalism: A Love Story is a searing outcry against the excesses of a cutthroat time." (Entertainment Weekly)

Academy Award–winning director Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 911, Sicko) is back. This time he’s using his provocative approach to examine the global economic meltdown and what he has described as “the biggest robbery in the history of this country”—the massive transfer of US taxpayer money to private financial institutions. “It will be the perfect date movie,” he says. “It’s got it all—lust, passion, romance, and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day.” Opening nationally on Oct. 2—a year and a day after the Senate voted to approve the $700 billion bailout—it’s sure to generate more than its share of controversy.

The Yes Men Fix the World

“Global Watch 2009: Crisis, Culture & Human Rights”

"Outrageously entertaining....This movie is glorious testimony to the moral power of satire." (New York Magazine)

"Great fun! It takes some nerve, not to mention diabolical intelligence... to pull off the elaborate pranks devised by the Yes Men." (New York Times)

The Yes Men are back, wreaking havoc with their trademark deadpan—and laugh-out-loud hilarious—acts of gonzo political activism. Posing as captains of industry, they infiltrate the world of big business and pull off audacious pranks that highlight the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet. Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are the Sasha Baron Cohens of globalized political humor. More Info
