Main Attractions
What main films will play at the
Ambler? This section lists the Main
Attractions that we intend to play in the
coming weeks. Additional unlisted films
will also become available. This list is
only an educated guess, though, since
film release plans often change.
When will these main films play?
Scheduling our Main Attractions is weekto-week. On Monday, we decide what
main films will play starting that Friday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the
showtimes for the upcoming week and
then update our website and telephone
hotline. We also send out a weekly email
(which you can receive by signing up
at our website). Sometimes, we book
a main film a few weeks in advance,
which we post on our website’s “Coming
Attractions” section.

hotline at 215 345 7855.)
The Grand
Budapest Hotel
Le Week-End
UK - Roger Michell – 1 hr 33 min
LE WEEK-END stars Jim Broadbent and
Lindsay Duncan as a British couple
celebrating their thirtieth wedding
anniversary with a weekend getaway
in Paris. As they travel around the city,
they revisit the highs and lows of their
relationship. It’s a bittersweet, enjoyable
love story about grown-up people
tackling real-world issues with wit and
intelligence.
USA - Wes Anderson - 1 hr 40 min
Wes Anderson’s latest film recounts the
adventures of a legendary concierge,
played by Ralph Fiennes, at a famous
European hotel in the 1930’s. It involves
the theft of a priceless Renaissance
painting and the battle for a family fortune
- all against the backdrop of a suddenly
and dramatically changing Continent.
It’s a vibrant and imaginative evocation
of a bygone era. This is Anderson’s most
elaborate, lavish-looking picture yet,
though still made in his distinct style.
With an extraordinary supporting cast
including Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe,
Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray,
Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman,
Tom Wilkinson, and Owen Wilson, among
others.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Visitors
USA - Godfrey Reggio - 1 hr 37 min
Shot in dazzling black and white and
presented in 4K, Godfrey Reggio’s
first film in over a decade showcases
his unique visual mastery through a
series of haunting, dreamlike images
of faces and hands as they interact
with technological tools. The effect
is mesmerizing and is perfectly
complimented by a new score from
frequent collaborator Philip Glass.
Tim’s Vermeer
USA - Teller - 1 hr 20 min
Tim Jenison, a Texas-based inventor,
attempts to solve one of the mysteries
of art: how did 17th century Dutch
master Johannes Vermeer manage
to paint so realistically? Spanning a
decade, Jenison’s adventure takes him
to Holland, where Vermeer painted,
on a pilgrimage to Yorkshire to meet
artist David Hockney and eventually
to Buckingham Palace. Presented by
renowned illusionists and professional
debunkers, Penn & Teller.
Only Lovers Left Alive
USA – Jim Jarmusch – 2 hr 2 min
ONLY LOVERS is a heavy dose of cool
wrapped in a hypnotic vampire story.
That’s right, it’s a Jim Jarmusch vampire
movie. With Tilda Swinton and Tom
Hiddleston as the hippest, most beautiful
vampires ever in a nocturnal reverie that
celebrates their centuries-old love affair.
Set in Tangier and Detroit and featuring
stunning cinematography, glorious set
design and amazing music, this is the
filmmaker’s best work in years.
Belle
UK - Amma Asante - 1 hr 45 min
Gugu Mbatha-Raw takes the title role
alongside Tom Wilkinson, Miranda
Richardson, and Emily Watson in this
movie based on the true story of Dido
Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate, bi-racial
daughter of a Royal Navy admiral in
18th-century Britain. BELLE is a gorgeous
period drama that explores the intertwined
relationship between British aristocracy
and the institution of slavery.
A MBLERT HEATER.ORG
The Lunchbox
India - Ritesh Batra – 1 hr 44 min
in English & Hindi w/subtitles
In Mumbai, India, a misdelivered
lunchbox brings together two very
different people — a neglected housewife
and a solitary widower on the verge of
retirement. This beautiful film effortlessly
weaves themes of gender, class, and
generational differences into a simple
love story. Whether it’s cooking a meal,
reading a letter, or riding a crowded train,
the film’s small moments are precise and
completely enchanting.
Limited Engagements
We try to play each of our Main
Attractions films for a full multi-week
run. Sometimes, however, we are unable
to play a film in a timely or complete
way, and it becomes a question of either
squeezing it in or not playing it at all. We
then often schedule that film for a couple
of mid-week screenings, called Limited
Engagements. Make sure that you sign
up for our weekly email blast, so that
you don’t miss these short, last-chance
screenings.

Retirement comes sooner than anyone expects—
and often before many people have the chance to
prepare. In order to live in retirement—the way
you want to live—you have to plan. The sooner
you begin, the greater opportunity you will have to
accumulate the wealth you will need to live a long and
comfortable life.
