Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin team up with director Nancy Meyers (Something�s Gotta Give) in a smart and winning romantic comedy about love and divorce. Jane (Streep) and Jake (Baldwin) were divorced a decade ago, when Jake married a much younger woman. A successful business owner, still single Jane remains on good terms with her ex. She is just beginning a relationship with the architect (Martin) remodeling her kitchen, himself healing from divorce. Then at their son�s college graduation, Jane and Jake have a drunken fling which becomes a full-fledged affair back home, and things get irresistibly, hilariously complicated.
Fri Jan 29 - Mon Feb 1
AMREEKA (PG-13) 97min 6:00 and 8:15
The story of the difficult transition of a Palestinian immigrant to America at the beginning of the Iraq War is balanced with a warm and affectionate human comedy in writer-director Cherien Dabis� authentic and endearing, semi-autobiographical debut feature film. Tired of being harassed at Israeli checkpoints both to and from work, divorced Muna (Nisreen Faour) and her studious teenaged son (Melkar Muallem) are excited to get a green card and move to the US, In her sister�s small Illinois town where they go, her optimism and ethnic pride are tempered but not overwhelmed by the bittersweet reality of their adjustment.
Tues Feb 2 - Thurs Feb 4
THE SUN (NR) 110min [partly in Japanese with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:15
Acclaimed Russian director Alexander Sokurov (Russian Ark), in one of his greatest works, has created an incisive, haunting portrait of enigmatic Japanese emperor Hirohito (Issey Ogata) during the time just before to shortly after his country�s surrender to the Allied forces, ending WWII. The distracted, defeated leader whose days until then had been filled with rituals and hobbies like writing poetry and studying marine biology, must now face his destiny, publicly renounce his divine status to his citizenry, and honorable face American General Douglas MacArthur to lay the foundation for post-war Japan. Not meant to be a factual, historical drama, this accomplished, provocative film examines the psychology of power at a moment of transition.
