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. 2:30 PM 5:10 PM |

Love Streams“The Unlimited Possibilities of Cinema: Selected by Apichatpong Weerasethakul” AW: “John Cassavetes is always an inspiration. When I am tired, I think about his mad energy and about this hypercharged family drama that threatened to collapse the theater while I was watching it. A storm.” An exhilarating, enormously moving roller-coaster ride about a tough-guy writer (John Cassavetes) and his fiery, unstable sister (Gena Rowlands) who lands on his doorstep. Winner of the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
John Cassavetes. 1984. 141 m. PG-13. USA. Park Circus. 3:30 PM 7:00 PM |
