Broken Embraces"This movie is utterly irresistible." (NY Magazine) Penelope Cruz plays a part-time call girl and aspiring actress in this Hitchcockian tale of jealousy, power, treachery, and dangerous love. The latest from Pedro Almodóvar (Volver, All About my Mother, Talk to Her) and his muse—in their fourth pairing—Broken Embraces is a stylized mystery set against the backdrop of the film industry. Almodóvar creates an intricate web of intrigue: jealous millionaires, blind writers, lip readers, and even a film-within-a-film remake of his own Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. A perfectly crafted work, Broken Embraces captures the bright, sensual feel of his previous triumphs while also incorporating a vivid, suspenseful story in this paean to classic Hollywood cinema. Official Website / Trailer | New York Magazine review Pedro Almodóvar. 2009. 127 m. R. Spain, Spanish with subtitles. Sony Pictures Classics. 11:45 AM 2:25 PM 5:00 PM 7:40 PM |

A Single Man"The film belongs to Firth. Uncanny at showing the heart crumbling under George's elegant exterior, he gives the performance of his career." (Rolling Stone) Famed fashion designer Tom Ford offers a stunning and stylish directorial debut with his elegant A Single Man. Colin Firth gives a mesmerizing performance (nominated for an Academy Award) as the college professor caught between sweet reverie and mournful reality, as he navigates a single day in 1962 Los Angeles. Julianne Moore is his best friend and Matthew Goode his former lover in this adaptation of the celebrated novel by Christopher Isherwood. With Ford's meticulous attention to detail and a luscious musical score, A Single Man is an exquisite aesthetic experience of deep emotional power.

The Young Victoria“A rich pastiche of first love, teen empowerment, fabulous fashion, and fate.” (LA Times) From Academy Award–winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) comes this rich portrait of a teenage Queen Victoria. Punctilious in its attention to historical fact and detail, The Young Victoria leaves behind the melodramatic, costume-jockey frutages of yore and presents an engaging chess match between the Queen, her mother’s consort, her exploitive first prime minister, and her cousin Prince Albert (Rupert Friend), with whom she falls in love. With a deft, full-blooded performance by Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) that toggles between the impulses of teenage whimsy and the prudent maturity of a young ruler. Official Website / Trailer | LA Times review Jean-Marc Vallée. 2009. 100 m. PG. US/UK. Apparition. 5:10 PM 7:20 PM |
