A Word About Our
Main Attractions:
Sunshine Cleaning
Frost/Nixon
USA /Germany – Stephen Daldry
Director Stephen Daldry (The Hours)
brings another literary gem to the
screen with this adaptation of the novel
by Bernhard Schlink. In post-WWII
Germany, a 15-year-old boy and a much
older woman come together for a brief,
forbidden romance. The woman soon
vanishes without warning, but they are
reunited years later when he discovers
that she is on trial for war crimes.
Starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes.
We try to play each of the films on
these two pages as soon as possible.
Sometimes, however, because of
scheduling conflicts or problems with
print availability, we are unable to play
a film before its video release. (The
“theatrical window” is getting shorter
and shorter.) We apologize for when this
happens. Know that it is our top priority
to play as many great films for you as
possible. For more information, visit our
website. Thank you.
USA – 1 hr 44 min – John Patrick Shanley
John Patrick Shanley brings his awardwinning play to the silver screen. Set in
New York in 1964, a nun confronts a
priest after suspecting him of abusing a
young black student. A moral battle of
wills ensues in this gripping story that
is ultimately about the quest for truth.
Starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour
Hoffman, and Amy Adams.
USA – 1 hr 42 min – Christine Jeffs
SUNSHINE CLEANING is a charming
independent film about a family on the
lower end of the Albuquerque food chain.
The story is completely carried by strong
lead performances: Amy Adams as the
plucky older sister who starts a business
that cleans up crime scenes; Emily Blunt
as the dysfunctional and edgy younger
sister; and Alan Arkin as the blunttalking, lovably cranky patriarch. It’s a
little bit like Little Miss Sunshine, Part 2
— but that’s a good thing.
Israel – 1 hr 30 min – Ari Folman
with subtitles
BASHIR is an animated documentary
from Israel about the 1982 War in
Lebanon, featuring astonishing animation
made from images originally shot on
film that create a surreal landscape of
memory. The film becomes bleaker by the
moment, but it is a thrilling, subjective
response to war. This is a cineaste’s
marvel, and unlike any other film you’ll
see this year.
USA – 2 hr 2 min – Ron Howard
Frank Langella is captivating as Nixon
in this shrewd drama about the historic
1977 TV interview of the former president
by an unlikely television personality.
The match between the two men is
compelling cinema — more psychological
than political in nature. FROST/NIXON is
a beautifully acted film that is by turns
suspenseful, funny and emotionally
engaging. With Michael Sheen as
David Frost.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Milk
I’ve Loved You So Long
Slumdog Millionaire
Synecdoche, New York
The Wrestler
The Boy in the
Striped Pajamas
USA – 2 hr 8 min – Gus Van Sant
Gus Van Sant directs Sean Penn in this
drama about gay-rights icon Harvey
Milk. Milk was an activist and politician,
and was the first openly gay man to be
elected to public office in America when
he was voted onto the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors in 1977. Penn, Josh
Brolin, Emile Hirsch and James Franco
star in this affirming and tragic drama.
USA – 2 hr 4 min – Charlie Kaufman
Screenwriting magician Charlie Kaufman
(Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine)
makes his directorial debut with this
typically intricate, self-referential film. A
theater director struggles with his art (and
his women) as he toils on a wildly ambitious new play. This challenging film is a
seriously bizarre contemplation of life, art,
love, and death. And it’s required viewing
for all serious filmgoers. Starring Philip
Seymour Hoffman, Samantha Morton,
Emily Watson, and Catherine Keener.
France – 1 hr 57 min – Philippe Claudel
with subtitles
This quiet French film starring Kristin
Scott Thomas is about a woman who
gets out of jail after 15 years and goes
to live with her sister. The focused story
slowly builds to a peak as the two
women remake their lives. The masterful
performance from Thomas completely
holds the film together with its absorbing
emotional power.
USA – 1 hr 49 min – Darren Aronofsky
Mickey Rourke creates a galvanizing,
humorous, and provocative lead character
that is truly iconic. He plays a washedup wrestler who is trying to make a
professional comeback as well as put his
personal life together. Shot in a roughand-ready handheld style, the picture
reeks with the atmosphere of low-rent
dives and seedy clubs. THE WRESTLER is
as direct and violent as its subject, but it’s
also poignant and moving. With Marisa
Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.
A MBLERT HEATER.ORG
Great Britain/USA – 1 hr 56 min – Danny
Boyle
The latest from Danny Boyle is a vivid
story of two poor kids from Mumbai,
India that is told with an attention
to character and culture that recalls
Dickens. Surging with colors, music and
the vitality of its youthful characters,
SLUMDOG is tragic and joyful, brutal
and beautiful — a real cinematic ride.
Toss in a healthy dose of romance and
this is an engaging journey from start
to finish.
Great Britain/USA – 1 hr 35 min – Mark
Herman
This unusual treatment of the Holocaust,
from the point of view of a German boy,
is gentle and haunting as it navigates
its very dark subject. The film’s delicate
touch has an almost fable-like quality,
which allows it to re-examine its subject
in a fresh way. But it is still powerful and
moving, and it does pack an emotional
punch.

Mozart – Conducted by Bertrand de Billy and
directed by Claus Guth at the Salzburg Festival
Starring Christopher Maltman, Erwin Schrott,
Dorothea Röschmann – 3 hr 20 min
Puccini – Conducted by Riccardo Chailly and
directed by Luca Ronconi at La Scala. Starring
Juan Pons, Miro Dvorski, Paoletta Marrocu
3 hr 20 min
From the most prestigious opera house
in the world, La Scala’s 2008-9 season
begins with Verdi’s DON CARLO, regarded
by Verdians today as the composer’s
richest, and possibly greatest work, with
moments of overwhelming power and
presence.
Composer Charles Gounod praised
this opera, based on the legend of Don
Juan, as “a work without blemish, of
uninterrupted perfection.” This production
gives Mozart’s masterpiece a surreal
treatment, thanks to inventive staging
by director Claus Guth and set designer
Christian Schmidt.
IL TRITTICO is comprised of three one-act
operas – Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and
Gianni Schicchi. This 2008 production,
directed by Luca Ronconi and conducted
by Riccardo Chailly, was performed at
La Scala to commemorate the 150th
Anniversary of Puccini’s birth.

Verdi – Conducted by Massimo Zanetti and
directed by Stefano Vizioli at the Teatro Regio,
Parma (Verdi Festival 2008) – Starring Leo
Nucci, Francesco Demuro, Désirée Rancatore
2 hr 30 min
This classical production of RIGOLETTO,
one of Verdi’s most beloved operas,
earned rave reviews at this year’s Verdi
Festival in Parma. Master baritone Leo
Nucci’s haunting performance as the title
character steals the show, and no wonder
– he’s performed the role over 400 times.
Monteverdi – Conducted by Emmanuelle
Haïm and directed by Robert Carsen at the
Glyndebourne Festival – Starring Danielle
de Niese, Sonya Yoncheva, Simona Mihai
2 hr 20 min
International star Danielle de Niese
returns to Glyndebourne as Poppea, the
amoral and relentlessly ambitious heroine
of Claudio Monteverdi’s last opera.
Baroque specialist Emmanuelle Haïm
conducts the Orchestra of the Age
of Enlightenment.
Handel – Conducted by William Christie and
directed by David McVicar and Robin Lough
at the Glyndebourne Festival – Starring Sarah
Connolly, Danielle de Niese – 3 hr 46 min
Director David McVicar sets this acclaimed
production of the Handel favorite in the
early 20th century, during a period of
British colonialism in Egypt. A highlight is
the brilliant performance by Danielle de
Niese, one of opera’s youngest stars, in
her breakout role as Cleopatra.
