MARION
WOODMAN:
THE TRIP
Director: Michael Winterbottom
“TERRIFIC!” –San Francisco Chronicle
In The Trip, Michael Winterbottom (Tristram
Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story)’s riotous and
resplendent road movie, two of Britain’s comedy titans face off in an epic match of dueling impressions.
Does Steve Coogan, the acerbic, hangdog star of 24 Hour Party People, do a better Michael Caine? Does
Rob Brydon, stocky, spry, and much loved in his homeland for his hit BBC series, do the more nuanced
Sean Connery as James Bond? It’s a relentless and relentlessly funny game of one-upmanship as the
two men, playing somewhat exaggerated versions of themselves, roam the hills and dales, posh inns and
poetic ruins of England’s Lake District. The Trip was originally shot for British television and reedited as
a rambling but illuminating odyssey that has as much to do with friendship as it does with celebrating
the comedic chops of its two stars. The jokes, the riffing, the almost scary channeling of Richard Burton
and Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino and Woody Allen, will throw you into paroxysms - but Winterbottom
isn’t merely playing it for laughs. By the end, when Coogan and Brydon have returned to their respective
London abodes (Brydon to a loving wife, Coogan to no one), The Trip is awash in a kind of cathartic melancholy…If anything, The Trip, the second time around, is even funnier. –Philadelphia Inquirer
KIDS MATINEE SUN 1PM
USA, 2011, 92 minutes; PG
Cast: Miranda July, Hamish Linklater
The Future begins as a floppy little drama about a couple of
limp-flower thirtysomethings who, cocooned in their thrift-shopfurnished L.A. apartment, dither about whether they’re adult
enough to adopt an ailing cat. The movie ends in a deep and
extraordinary demonstration of how the world spins forward,
whether we’re ready or not. In between, this daring, singular project blithely risks accusations of cutesiness: The movie is framed
by narration from Paw Paw, the cat in question (voiced by the
movie’s writer-director-star, Miranda July), with only those wittybitty paw-paws visible.
The Future belongs to Sophie (July), who teaches dance to little kids while dreaming of sharing her own choreography with a YouTube audience, and to her
boyfriend, Jason (The New Adventures of Old Christine’s marvelous Hamish Linklater), who would like to grow up to be maybe, oh, a world leader but meanwhile
provides tech support from his home phone. As she did in her striking 2005 debut, Me and You and Everyone We Know, July creates a fluid cinematic universe,
flexible enough to embrace the artist’s favorite interests; she weaves in performance art and Internet culture (the couple are glued to their laptops). And she creates perfect images of supernatural everydayness. In The Future, everything is possible. --Entertainment Weekly
“The magical, metaphorical strain in ‘The Future’ is what makes it powerful, unsettling and strange, as well as charming.” –The New York Times

THE TREE
Director: Julie Bertuccelli
France/Australia, 2010,
101 minutes; PG
Starring Charlotte Gainsbourgh
Sadness and longing haunt the
films of the French director Julie
Bertuccelli, whose gorgeous second
feature is set in Queensland, Australia, on the outskirts of Brisbane. Here, on the edge of the outback, the
environment is so luminous that every outdoor shot has an aura of magical realism. The title refers to a
marvelous, many-limbed tree, a Moreton Bay fig, that rises like a giant, woody mushroom with cradling
arms next to the ramshackle farmhouse of the O’Neils. –The New York Times
The fig tree looms over the home of Dawn O’Neil (Charlotte Gainsbourg). When her loving husband and
father of three dies of a heart attack in one of the opening scenes, the truck in which he was driving stops
with a bump against the giant trunk. Seven-year-old Simone (Morgana Davies) gets it into her pretty
little head that dad’s soul has taken up residence in the branches of the tree.…The willowy, expressive Gainsbourg does an excellent job here portraying Dawn’s mix of openness and depression. She’s
stumped by the presence of a leviathan that overhangs and threatens to overwhelm her home and family.

“ONE

The brilliant Saturday Night Live player Kristen Wiig
finally gets the big-screen vehicle she deserves. In
this raucous comedy Wiig plays a depressed loser
whose lifelong friendship with pal Maya Rudolph
is threatened when the latter gets engaged and
another of the bridesmaids starts angling to be maid
of honor. The gags are often rowdy, yet they spring
from a genuinely female perspective… the movie
maintains a surefooted balance between the sentimentality of most chick flicks and the crudity of most
dick flicks.–Chicago Reader
“A TESTAMENT TO THE MESSY JOY OF

This compilation of several hundred home videos,
all shot on July 24, 2010, and submitted by citizens

free of the usual YouTube Stupid Human Tricks coyness, that it’s easy to get addicted to its clear-eyed
celebration of the rituals and dislocating comedy
of life in the 21st century. It’s our equivalent of that
‘80s art-film kaleidoscope Koyaanisqatsi. What’s
transporting about Life in a Day is that it’s so much
warmer and less abstract. –Entertainment Weekly
I’ll be forever grateful to this movie for introducing me to Nim’s story, a tale so powerful and suggestive that it functions as a myth about the ever-mysterious relationship between human beings and

Sunshine: The
Story of Fishbone
Marie Losier, USA/France, 72min
Lev Anderson & Chris Metzler,
USA, 107min
An intimate, affecting portrait of
the life and work of ground-breaking performance
artist and music pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
(Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and his wife and
collaborator, Lady Jaye, centred on the daring
sexual transformations the pair underwent for their
“Pandrogyne” project.
A documentary about the band Fishbone, musical
pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of
pop culture for the past 25 years. From the streets
of South Central LA and the competitive Hollywood
music scene of the 1980s, Everyday Sunshine examines the trajectory of the band rise to prominence,
only to fall apart on the verge of “making it.”
Blinding
Steve Sanguedolce, Canada, 72min
Blinding is a hand-processed,
hand-coloured film about the
beauty and curse of vision. It
follows the story of three people
who have experienced major disruptions to their lives. An ex-cop,
a fighter pilot, and a writer slowly going blind: each
grappling with fear and trauma amidst inner transformations.

“A THRILL RIDE.” –Portland Oregonian

Certainly the most stylish comics-derived entertainment of the year. This is the fifth film in the
interconnected Marvel comics universe, wherein
the whole gang — Captain America, Iron Man,
the Hulk and Thor— will come together to form
a boy band next May in “The Avengers.” The
movie takes its mythology seriously without
choking on it. Director Johnston knows and loves
the story’s period; he brings a zest for retro detail
in the service of an early 1940s story dealing in
Nazis and World War II. --Chicago Tribune

USA, 2011, 110 minutes; 14A

“SEXY!” –The Hollywood Reporter
“IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.” –Boston Globe
Another shag-buddies comedy, but it’s much better than the last one, No Strings Attached. Dylan
(Justin Timberlake), a Los Angeles Web designer who takes a magazine job in New York, and Jamie
(Mila Kunis), the headhunter who recruits him, hop into bed and make very particular demands on
each other, but they agree not to indulge in anything so dirty or squalid as emotion. The movie is fast,
allusive, urban, glamorous. The director, Will Gluck, keeps the characters racing ahead and trying
to outsmart each other, in and out of bed. Timberlake, swinging his lithe body around the room, has
become a shrewdly likable actor. Kunis, of the almond-shaped eyes and dusky skin, is all teasing
mischief and easily hurt feelings. --The New Yorker

“AN ENCHANTING LIGHT COMEDY OF ROMANTIC CONFUSION.” –Entertainment Weekly
Cast: Rachel Weisz, Monica Bellucci,
David Strathairn, and Vanessa Redgrave
In Canadian director Larysa Kondracki’s
gripping based-on-a-true-story debut
Rachel Weisz delivers a riveting performance as a cop who confronts the heart
of darkness – sex-slave trafficking – after
taking a job with an international police
task force supporting peacekeeping in
Sarajevo in 1999. One of few women
on the force, Kathy Bolkovac (Weisz) is
asked to head the local gender office
by an official (Vanessa Redgrave) in the
U.N.’s human rights high commission.
The job involves investigating crimes related to women, including sex trafficking. It’s clear the U.N. brass
in this film are aware the region’s sex-slave industry involves not only the patronage but also complicity of
peacekeepers, U.N. workers and members of the police task force…Rachel Weisz won a best supporting
actress Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener. Her performance in The Whistleblower elevates her
into the Oscar-worthy ranks of Norma Rae, Karen Silkwood and Erin Brockovich – a real-life crusader who
steps outside her comfort zone to do the right thing, whatever the cost. --The Globe and Mail
Smart, sophisticated adult comedies are increasingly rare—but this is a crazy funny delight in
which Steve Carell, a faithful but boring husband, is thrust into the perilous life of a swinging single
guy. Being unused goods on the
market creates complications for
Carell when he’s approached at
a bar by swinging single savant
Ryan Gosling who decides to
show him how the modern dating world is sliced and diced.
A superb ensemble cast makes
the most of the comedy. Gosling
seems to be quietly longing for
the kind of life Carell once had.
This becomes clear in his own
new relationship with the bubbly
hard-to-get Emma Stone. ..Carell
has never been better—here, he
proves he is perhaps the top film
comedian of the moment. But
Gosling and Stone threaten to
steal the show from underneath
him. --Boxoffice Magazine

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS
Director: Werner Herzog
NOV 5
Canada/USA, 2010, 90 minutes; rated G
German filmmaker Werner Herzog petitioned the French government for an unprecedented
chance to film inside the Chauvet cave of southeastern France. Chauvet, the most recently
discovered and by far the oldest of the great Paleolithic cave-painting sites of Western Europe,
has been visited only by a small group of scholars since it was found in 1994. Since a long-ago
landslide sealed off this cave from the outside world for at least 20,000 years—the Chauvet cave
is a fragile ecosystem that could easily be destroyed.
TO BE ANNOUNCED
please check
www.cinecenta.com
Herzog and a skeleton crew descended into the cave to give the rest of the world what may be
the closest look we will ever get at some of the world’s earliest works of art. The resulting movie
is itself a work of art—one that partakes, across imponderable millennia of remove, in some of
the uncanny beauty and mystery of these caves. If you’re interested in the history of the human
race—if you’re a member of the human race—you owe it to yourself to see this movie.
Herzog’s camera is constantly roving over the surface of the cave walls—a surface that’s undulating, pocked, scratched in places by the claws of the now-extinct cave bears that once inhabited the place. And though there are ample chunks of that irreplaceable Herzogian voiceover,
there are also stretches of near-silence in which we hear nothing but the dripping of water from rock formations. Sometimes, there’s music—a strange, beautiful
score by cellist Ernst Reijseger that sounds like something Bach might have composed if he’d lived in the Stone Age.

Watching Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a seductive, vertiginous experience. The dimly lit walls, the stalactites and stalagmites sparkling with crystal formations,

CAPTAIN AMERICA:
THE FIRST AVENGER
As for the art, well, the whole reason you need to see this movie is that it’s hard to get across a sense of these paintings’ brilliance in language—or in photographs, for that matter. For the first time seeing this film, I realized that painted caves, when you’re in them, feel like not museums but chapels.
Ryan
Producer/co-writer Guillermo del Toro, the visionary filmmaker responsible for Pan’s Labyrinth, performs
the neat trick of adapting the original 1973 television horror movie into a tastefully suspenseful work of kidfriendly art. In spite of some glaring plot inconsistencies, DBAOTD is sure to scare the heebeejeebies out
of willing audiences. Bailee Madison (Bridge to Terabithia) plays Sally, the ten-year-old daughter of hotshot architect Alex Hurst (Guy Pearce). Alex invites Sally away from his ex-wife to come stay with him and
his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) at a Gothic New England mansion he’s busy restoring. The spooky
house holds secrets from its original owner... Things go bump in the night (and in the day) after Sally goes
poking around where she shouldn’t, namely the basement... There’s very little blood in this horror movie
built on suspense--think The Others. DBAOTD is a nuanced horror movie modulated to incur just the
right quality of nightmare. You might want to sleep with the light on after seeing it. --ColeSmithey.com

OCT 14 (3:00 matinee & 7:00 & 9:30)
OCT 15 (3:40 matinee & 7:00 & 9:30)
This trenchant documentary by James
Marsh (Man on Wire) exposes the foolishness of our tendency to anthropomorphize animals. In 1973 a baby chimpanzee called Nim was torn from its mother
at a primate research lab in Oklahoma to
become the subject—and media star—
of a Columbia University study in language development. A surrogate mother,
Stephanie LaFarge (the former lover of
project head Herbert Terrace), took the
infant chimp into her Manhattan apartment and reared it as part of her own
large family, teaching it to communicate
through sign language for the deaf. But LaFarge’s resistance to strict scientific protocol resulted in Nim
being relocated to a sprawling estate in Riverdale, and its signing ability increased rapidly under the tutelage
of undergraduate Laura-Ann Petitto (who would also become romantically involved with Terrace). Sexual
politics, family dynamics, the debate over heredity versus environment, and the dubious ethics of scientific
research on animals are rigorously explored in this ambitious, bittersweet work. –Chicago Reader

“A PROFOUND ACHIEVEMENT.”
–Washington Post
Like Wayne Wang’s The Joy Luck Club,
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan enters
the world of women with complete openness to its sensory sights and sounds, its
codes of behavior, secrets of the heart
and sturdiness of the soul. It does this
through parallel stories, one set in contemporary Shanghai and the other taking
place in 19th century Hunan province in
central China. Sometimes the switches in
time and use of the same two actresses
playing roles a century-and-a-half apart
are awkward. But so strong are the emotions — and, yes, the melodrama — that Snow Flower represents one of Wayne Wang’s best films to
date. Based partially on Lisa See’s 2005 novel, the film begins by introducing the concept of “laotong,” a
contractual arrangement between women, even from different classes, that makes them sworn sisters for
life. Everything about the period story speaks to women’s oppression in the near feudal society of provincial
China. The contemporary Shanghai women are seen as cosmopolitan English-speakers rising to the top of
corporations and having their choice of men…. --The Hollywood Reporter

Featuring noted actors Gael García Bernal and
Luis Tosar, this film was Spain’s Official Selection
for the Academy Awards. Costa and Sebastian
arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia, to shoot a period
film about Columbus’s arrival in the Americas.
Things get complicated when the extras and the
main actor rise up against the privatization of their
city’s drinking water.
“SCORCHINGLY RAUNCHY!” –Washington Post
Funny and dirty in about that order. The story involves
three horrible bosses (Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston,
Colin Farrell) and the three employees (Jason Bateman,
Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis) who vow to murder them.
What makes the movie work is how truly horrible the
bosses are, what pathetic victims the employees are
and how bad the employees are at killing; they’d be
fired in a second by Murder Inc. The bosses display an
impressive array of vile behavior. The movie, directed
with cheerful and wicked energy by Seth Gordon, is
situation slapstick. Kevin Spacey is superb, but the
surprise for many may be Jennifer Aniston. Here she
has acute comic timing and hilariously enacts alarming
sexual hungers.--Roger Ebert

IF A TREE FALLS: A
STORY OF THE EARTH
LIBERATION FRONT
Director: Marshall Curry
USA/UK, 2011, 85 minutes; Blu-ray
“A fascinating and remarkably fair-minded
documentary.” –Salon
Given the volatility of its subject matter, perhaps the best way to talk about If a Tree Falls is by stating
what it is not. It is not a celebration of the activities of the ELF; it is not an indictment of federal or Oregon
forestry policy; it is not an attack on extreme environmentalists; it is not an argument, in short, for or
against any particular point of view surrounding the vexed questions of how we choose to manage timber
or how best to protest those choices. Rather, director Marshall Curry’s clear-eyed, even-handed and honest film is chiefly about how one man, Daniel McGowan, became part of an ELF group operating out of
the Eugene area, how the group waged a campaign of arson, how they were caught by authorities, and
how McGowan and his co-defendants were treated by the legal system. Curry gets remarkable access to
McGowan and his fellow ELF members, to the victims of their crimes, to police, prosecutors and defense
attorneys, and, most intimately, to McGowan and his family. Virtually everyone (except the charismatic
ELF leader who turned informant) is depicted in a fair, balanced and empathetic light -- which is perhaps
Curry’s most impressive achievement. If a Tree Falls never loses sight of the human beings at the heart
of the conflict -- no matter what side of the conflict they’re on. –Portland Oregonian
“A HEAD-SPINNING TANGLE OF ETHICAL QUESTIONS!” –The Village Voice

(Argentina, 2009, 101 min.)
Leonardo, a successful industrial designer, lives
with his family in an architectural wonder, a
mid-century Le Corbusier home in the city of La
Plata, Argentina. One morning, he wakes to discover that workmen next door are building a large
window that faces directly into his home. The
small incident escalates and starts to take over
Leonardo’s life, until it leads to an unexpected
outcome. Winner of the Best Argentine Feature
Film at the 24th Mar del Plata Film Festival.

KUNG FU PANDA 2
BEGINNERS
Director: Mike Mills USA, 2010, 105 minutes; PG Cast:
Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Melanie Laurent
An absorbing, funny and poignant story about love, loss,
fear and hope. Mike Mills has a fabulous cast, a steady
visual hand, and a tone that’s somewhere between anguished, addled, and whimsical. The result is a
revelation. Ewan McGregor is Oliver, an artist caught up in an eddy of grief after the death of his father,
Hal (Christopher Plummer). In the four or five years prior, since becoming a widower, Hal had come out
of the closet as a gay man, living loudly and proudly. Oliver meets Anna (Mélanie Laurent, Inglourious
Basterds), an actress with trust and openness issues of her own. Their attraction is mutual, but they
have their pasts to overcome….The cast is splendid. Plummer positively exudes joy in Hal’s newfound
liberties and fulfillment. –Portland Oregonian
Both heartbreaking and hilarious, and bolstered by performances that are sure to earn more than
a few Oscar nominations —particularly for Christopher Plummer. –eye Weekly
