Fri, Mar 12 thru Thu, Mar 18 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces is a lush, deeply romantic noir dense with nods to films past, yet it plays as if it sprung fully formed from the director’s unconscious. The movie centers on the making of a movie—of two movies, actually, a feature and a behind-the-scenes documentary. But this isn’t a movie about movies. Cinema is so woven into Almodóvar’s DNA that he goes past pastiche. Art and life have become thrillingly fused. More »
Crazy Heart
Directed by Scott Cooper. US. 2009. R. Running time: 112 min.
Fri, Mar 26 thru Thu, Apr 1 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
“Crazy Heart, written and directed by Scott Cooper, is a small movie perfectly scaled to the big performance at its center. It offers some picturesque views of out-of-the-way parts of the American West, but the dominant feature of its landscape is Bad Blake, a wayward, aging country singer played by Jeff Bridges.” More »
