HOPE SPRINGS (PG-13) 100min
Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones are excellent as a long-time married Mid-western couple at a stalemate. Chatty Kay wants to spice up their life and buys a self-help book by a famous couples’ therapist (playing it straight, Steve Carell) for advice, and then buys plane tickets to visit his practice in coastal Maine. First issue is to get her skeptical, taciturn husband merely on the plane. This honest and observant drama from director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) and TV writer Vanessa Taylor is at times funny, awkward, surprising, thoughtful and altogether enjoyable.
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! This extraordinary debut film, winner of the Cannes Camera d’Or for best first film and the top Sundance prize for fiction film, is a strikingly original, beautiful film and an altogether unforgettable experience. Young Quvenzhané Wallis inhabits the role of Hushpuppy, who lives with her ailing, alcoholic father Wink (played by a New Orleans baker named Dwight Henry) in a defiant bayou community called the Bathtub on the other side of the levee from “civilization”. While he is trying to prepare her for survival after he’s gone, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe, …until catastrophe strikes. Director Benh Zeitlin and playwright Lucy Alibar adapt her play Juicy and Delicious into a magical, spellbinding poetry.
Tues Oct 9 - Thurs Oct 11
Hugo Weaving (LOTR, The Matrix) stars in this extraordinary Australian film, the debut feature of Glendyn Ivin. He is Kev, a rough, desperate and intense man on the run with his young son Chook (Tom Russell) after committing a violent crime. As the two travel across the South Australian desert, their troubled relationship and the need to survive find them battling both the elements and each other. This simple and powerful story, from a screenplay by Mac Gudgeon based on the novel by Denise Young, is balanced by beautiful cinematography by Greig Fraser (Snow White and the Huntsman).
