Beasts of the Southern Wild"A stunning debut that finds its dandelion-haired heroine fighting rising tides and fantastic creatures in a mythic battle against modernity." (Peter Debruge, Variety) 4 Academy Award Nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Actress in a Leading Role Winner of the Caméra d'Or award at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Beasts of the Southern Wild was one of the most anticipated indie films of 2012. From first-time filmmaker Benh Zeitlin, the film tells the story of an extraordinarily imaginative six-year-old girl who when faced with unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions must learn to survive on her own.

To Rome with Love"One of the most delightful things about To Rome With Love is how casually it blends the plausible and the surreal, and how unabashedly it revels in pure silliness." (A.O. Scott, NY Times) With a sumptuously photographed Rome as the backdrop, this charming comedic omnibus starring Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, and Penelope Cruz is sure to please.

Mama Africa“Sounds of Summer: New Music Documentaries 2012” South African singer Miriam Makeba lived and breathed music and politics, using her powerful, versatile voice to fight apartheid and sing out for justice. “Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation,” said Nelson Mandela. Bringing African music into the global spotlight, Makeba toured with Harry Belafonte, sang at JFK’s birthday party, performed with Paul Simon, and hung out with political activists and musical leaders around the world. An unforgettable homage.

Shut Up and Play the Hits“Sounds of Summer: New Music Documentaries 2012” "...the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits offers more basic narrative satisfaction than many of the fiction films shown here [Sundance Film Festival] using documentary aesthetics in the name of realism."(Karina Longworth, The Village Voice) On April 2, 2011, LCD Soundsystem, one of the most celebrated dance-punk bands of the last 10 years, played its final show, at Madison Square Garden, calling it quits at the peak of its popularity. Time Magazine lamented “we may never dance again.” Shut Up and Play the Hits documents this once-in-a-lifetime performance, described as “a marvel of pure craft” (New York Magazine), and is also an intimate portrait of frontman James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision. Shut Up and Play the Hits has been called The Last Waltz of this generation and is the must see of the summer! Official Website / Trailer | The Village Voice review Dylan Southern/Will Lovelace. 2012. 114 m. NR. USA. Oscilloscope. 10:00 PM |
