Feature Films:
The Descendants
Directed by Alexander Payne. US. 2011. R. Running time: 115 min.
“The Descendants, Payne’s long-awaited new film, is another beautifully chiseled piece of filmmaking — sharp, funny, generous, and moving — that writes its own rules as much as About Schmidt or Sideways did. In a funny way, Payne has become the Stanley Kubrick of serious American comedy: He takes forever to make a movie, searching every time (as Kubrick did) for the perfect book to adapt. But when he finally discovers it and gets rolling (in this case, it’s a novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings), he turns each film into a masterfully realized and inhabited universe.

Classic Films:
Camille
Directed by George Cukor. US. 1936. NR. Running time: 108 min.
Though nominated for this, one of the most seminal roles in her career, Greta Garbo did not receive an Oscar for this stunning exercise in romantic melodrama. (Hard to believe that this uber-star never received any Academy Awards for her acting, though she did get a “career award,” many years after she retired.)

WXPN welcomes Marc Broussard! Rooted in the strong currents of R&B, sanctified church and the many other flavors of his Louisiana bayou home, Broussard achieves a depth in all aspects of his writing and singing through his love for and mastery of tradition. Great music, pulled from the heart, crafted impeccably and delivered with deep emotion, with the goal of every live performance “to make my audience cry, laugh, dance, and walk away emotionally spent.” Sugar + The Hi-Lows and local musician John Valerio will open this show.
