Tomorrow Tuesday starts 3 days of the Israeli comedy-drama THE FAREWELL PARTY at 6:00 and 8:15.

RICKI AND THE FLASH (PG-13) 102min 5:30 and 8:00
Marvelous again, Meryl Streep stars with her daughter Mamie Gummer as a hard-rocking singer-guitarist in LA who gave up everything for her career; now she has returned to Indiana due to a family emergency involving her daughter and is trying to reconnect with her family, without much success. Kevin Kline plays her gentle ex-husband and Audra McDonald his second wife. Rick Springfield plays a bandmate who'd rather be a boyfriend. Jonathan Demme (Stop Making Sense, Silence of the Lambs, Rachel Getting Married) directs a riveting story by screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno). trailer
Fri Aug 28 - Mon Aug 31
INFINITELY POLAR BEAR (R) 90min 6:00 and 8:15
The debut feature of director Maya Forbes is an authentic, eccentric semi-autobiographical film memoir about growing up in a bi-racial family with a bipolar dad. Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are All Right) stars in this episodic comedy drama as a man just recovered from a breakdown and in a halfway house who is trying to reconnect with his wife (Zoe Saldana) and two children. When she enrolls in graduate school in New York City, they decide he will move in and take care of the kids while she's away, leading to a series of quirky, funny and sometimes frightening experiences with his spirited, loving but also occasionally exasperated children. trailer
Tues Sept 1 - Thurs Sept 3
THE FAREWELL PARTY (NR) 95min [in HEBREW with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:15
A group of friends, an inventor and prankster, a veterinarian, and a retired policeman, at a Jerusalem retirement home decide to help a terminally ill friend pass on his own terms and come up with an ingenious plan that sets him free of his pain without them getting caught for helping. But word quickly spreads out about their assistance and the requests for help start flowing in, leading them to a dilemma of life and death proportions. This moving, bittersweet and wryly comic depiction of life in old age, written and directed by Israeli filmmaker Sharon Maymon, is not as bleak as Michael Haenke's L'Amour, nor as sugary as the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. trailer
