ROCK'N'REEL (NR) 79min
"In the hands of a free spirit, the cinema is a magnificent and
dangerous weapon."-- Luis Buñuel
Can't get enough of Woody Allen's 'Midnight in Paris'? Come catch a double
feature from two of that film's most indelible characters: Luis Buñuel and
Salvador Dalí. Made in 1929 and 1930, these films are a one-two punch of
savage surrealist cinema that continues to inspire filmmakers today. We
are pleased to be presenting these films with live musical accompaniment
by multi-instrumentalist Sean Murphy. This should provide an
electrifying interplay with these two classic films. A rare treat.
Sunday Aug 28 at 2pm
THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY OF THE BUTTERFLIES (NR) 50min FREE
The 4th and final film of our summer series with the Maine Chapter of the
Sierra Club who offers these films at no charge to get people focused on
the environment. Orange-and-black wings fill the sky as NOVA charts one
of nature's most remarkable phenomena: the epic migration of monarch
butterflies across North America. NOVA's filmmakers followed monarchs on
the wing throughout their extraordinary 2000 mile odyssey to their
wintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico. To capture a
butterfly's point of view, camera operators used a helicopter, ultralight,
and hot-air balloon for aerial views along the butterflies'
transcontinental route. Monarch butterfly expert Bill Calvert, featured
in the program, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Fri Aug 26 - Thurs Sept 1
CRAZY STUPID LOVE (PG-13) 118min 6:00 and 8:30
HELD OVER BY POPULAR DEMAND!
This enchanting comedy of romantic confusion stars Steve Carell as Cal, a
straight-laced father of two with the perfect life who finds his world
crumbling around him when his wife (Julianne Moore) tells him she has
cheated on him and wants a divorce. Now he spends his evenings sulking
alone at the local bar, where handsome Lothario Jacob (Ryan Gosling) takes
this sad sack under his wing and teaches him about the many options
available to meet new women. His makeover provides him with many new
conquests, but his heart still pines for his ex. Meanwhile, his teenager
son has a crush on the babysitter, who is crazy about his "new" dad.
Directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (I Love You Phillip Morris, Bad
Santa) have made a smart, satisfying, and hilariously funny comedy.
Fri Aug 26 - Mon Aug 29
BEGINNERS (R) 104min 5:30 and 8:00
Sweet, touching and funny, this is the second film from graphic artist
Mike Mills (Thumbsucker), a distinctive director with a unique style.
Based on his own personal history, the story follows a man (Ewan
MacGregor) whose 75 year old father informs him, after the death of his
mother following a 45 year-long marriage, that he is and always has been
gay. The son, somewhat mortified with his father's announcement watches
as his father morphs from a distant parent into a lively, happy man who is
in a loving relationship with a much younger man (Goran Visnjic).
Remembering this transformation after his father's death challenges him in
his newly forming relationship with a young woman (Melanie Laurant) with
whom he is interested, but under normal circumstances would flee from at
the first hint of attraction.
Tues Aug 30 - Thurs Sept 1
THE FIRST GRADER (PG-13) 103min 5:30 and 8:00
Based on a true story, this heartfelt film follows the controversial
attempt of an elderly tribal farmer (Oliver Litundo), once a freedom
fighter against the British, in a remote mountaintop village to take
advantage of the Kenyan government's new promise of universal, free
education. Eventually the principal-teacher (Naomi Harris, Pirates of the
Caribbean) risks all, her career, her marriage, her safety, to help the
old man to learn to read. Director Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn
Girl) provides a rich and beautiful portrait of Kenya and her people,
while also exploring its more violent past, in this provocative and
uplifting tale.
