The Princess Bride“Movies for Kids (and their Families)” After a lowly stable boy pledges his love to the beautiful Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright), she is abducted. Can he save her? The star-crossed lovers inhabit a hilarious alternate universe of joyful derring-do, swashbuckling swordfights, corny jokes, and such outrageous perils as the notorious Rodents of Unusual Size. A sweet-natured cult favorite.
Rob Reiner. 1987. 98 m. PG. US. 12:00 PM |

Win Win"This unassuming but quietly winning comedy-drama delivers on the promise of its title." (David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter) Tom McCarthy (The Visitor, The Station Agent) returns with this new comedic drama, one of the big audience hits of this year's Sundance Film Festival. The film follows Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), an attorney and high school wrestling coach who takes on the guardianship of an elderly client in a last ditch effort to save his legal practice. What appears to be a win-win proposition for him and his client quickly reveals itself to be much more complicated than anticipated, when the client's teenage grandson shows up at his door in need of a guardian himself.

Nora's Will“Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2011” “Quiet, original, irreverent, ironic,” says Roger Ebert about this “disarming, pitch-perfect chamber piece.” This dark comedy comes to us from Mexico, where it was a huge hit and took home seven major awards—and American audiences and critics are loving it, too. It’s the wild tale of a family that must deal with the crazy manipulations of a matriarch who has planned her death at Passover precisely to wreak the most havoc. Mariana Chenillo . 2008. 90 m. NR. Mexico, Spanish with subtitles. Menemsha Films. 3:00 PM |

The Matchmaker“Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2011” This poignant, ambitious drama set in Haifa in the summer of 1968 is a tender and humorous tale of love and friendship about a matchmaker who specializes in finding romance for the disenfranchised. He and his perceptive teenage assistant both experience the transformation of a nascent Israeli society grappling with assimilation and the upheavals of the 60s. Variety calls it “a memory play gold-dusted with adolescent longing and a strong sense of fable.” Nominated for seven Israeli Academy Awards including Best Picture. Avi Nesher. 2010. 118 m. NR. Israel, Hebrew with subtitles. Menemsha Films. 5:00 PM |

Mahler on the Couch“Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2011” The smashing opening night film of this year’s New York Jewish Film Festival. When Gustav Mahler discovered that his passionate young wife, Alma, was having an affair, the agonized composer sought treatment from none other than Sigmund Freud. Based on a true story and featuring a sublime Mahler soundtrack, “this delightful, witty, artistically vigorous and occasionally loony fantasia” (Hollywood Reporter) is also a surprisingly insightful look at artistic and personal torment and the nature of genius. Percy Adlon/Felix Adlon. 2010. 97 m. NR. Germany/Austria, German with subtitles. Studio Canal. 7:30 PM |

The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground“Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2011” What do you get when you take a group of gifted, eccentric artists and add the Yiddish language, Hasidic dance, and gospel music? You get the Klezmatics, who Time Out NY says “aren’t just the best band in the klezmer vanguard— on a good night, they rank among the greatest bands on the planet.” A strikingly candid backstage portrait of the New York based Grammy Award–winning band, shot over three years to capture their unending search for accord and recognition. Erik Greenberg Anjou. 2010. 104 m. NR. US. Seventh Art Releasing. 9:40 PM |
