Monsieur Lazhar"The film is crisp, evenly paced, its colors bright, as sharp as the winter cold." (David Edelstein, New York Magazine) After the shocking and abrupt death of an elementary school teacher, Bachir Lazhar is quickly hired as a replacement. Bachir, an Algerian immigrant living in Montreal after his own personal tragedy, finds himself at the center of a shaken and dysfunctional education system. An understated, poignant drama, Monsieur Lazhar was one of the most talked about films at Sundance and Toronto, and recently received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Philippe Falardeau. 2011. 94 m. PG-13. Canada, French. Music Box Films. 12:15 PM 2:40 PM 5:10 PM 7:20 PM |

Joanna“Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2012” Polish cinema master Feliks Falk spins a gripping tale about a gentile woman (Urszula Grabowska, in a tour-de-force performance) in German-occupied Krakow. Finding a young Jewish girl sleeping in a church all by herself, she makes the only choice possible. But how far is she willing to go to protect the child? The consequences of her decision are momentous. A remarkably subtle, artfully portrayed psychological character study that is not easily forgotten.

Bully“Bully forces you to confront not the cruelty of specific children — who have their own problems, and their good sides as well — but rather the extent to which that cruelty is embedded in our schools and therefore in our society as a whole." (A.O. Scott, NY Times) This character-driven documentary has struck a resonant chord with parents and teens across the country. Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, Bully follows five kids and their families over the course of a school year, each representing a different facet of America's bullying crisis. It's a powerful and intimate film that offers insight into the lives of bullied children and one of the must-see films of 2012. Official Website / Trailer | NY Times review Lee Hirsch. 2012. 98 m. PG-13. USA. The Weinstein Company. 3:20 PM 5:30 PM 7:40 PM |
