Featured Shows This Month



Young @ Heart

As early as autumn 2006, surreal and hilarious video clips of Stephen Walker’s documentary were making the rounds on YouTube and in email inboxes all over the U.S.--tantalizing, out-of-context glimpses of the Young@Heart vocal choir, composed of elderly men and women, having a go at chestnuts by Sonic Youth, the Clash, and the Ramones. Viewers witness the blossoming of long-buried or completely latent musical talents in the elderly folks; learning the new, unfamiliar material, under the direction of irascible 50-something conductor Bob Cilman, keeps their neurons firing and their emotions kindled, while communing with and trusting each other staves off the isolating effects of old age, even as they cope with heartbreaking losses within their ranks. It is undeniably funny to watch them struggle with the more challenging punk, classic rock, and soul songs as their leader kvetches wearily, but Walker skillfully ensures that, by the end of the film, we are laughing with the intrepid Young@ Hearters, and not at them.

When we last saw Indiana Jones on screen, it was 1938, and the world stood on the brink of war as Dr. Jones chased down evildoers to find the Holy Grail. Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his whip again, and many things have changed ... but some have remained the same. Again, the world is at a precipice, this time caused by the specter of nuclear annihilation, and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity.

Scent of Green Papaya

Scent of Green Papaya

In 1950s Saigon, Mui, a 10 year-old peasant girl, goes to work as a servant for a merchant family. Quiet, well-mannered, and almost supernaturally observant of the most minute and beautiful details that life has to offer, she grows into a young woman who is as much a part of the somewhat dysfunctional family as the real members themselves. As the family runs out of money, she is sent to work for a family friend, a young man whom she has known since she was a child and whom she secretly loves. Beautifully photographed, the film was the winner of the Camera d’Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

In Vietnamese with English subtitles NOT RATED, NOTHING OFFENSIVE (1H 44M)

Children of Heaven

Children of Heaven

CHILDREN OF HEAVEN is a small, sweet Iranian film that tells a simple story with such elegance it will be hard to forget. Beyond the plot, there are gentle truths and lessons of childhood woven into the story, which are offset by moments of lovely humour. The script and direction of CHILDREN OF HEAVEN are what distinguish it as an excellent film. It is a unique and compelling story that offers us a glimpse into the Iranian culture.

In Persian with English subtitles RATED PG FOR SOME MILD LANGUAGE (1H 23M)

Zorba the Greek

Zorba the Greek

Shot on location with real villagers, ZORBA is the story of a friendship between an inhibited English bookworm and a lusty Greek who lives to philosophize, drink, make love and express his affinity with nature. The two of them try to get an old mine back in operation, which seems a hopeless cause. Zorba obtains mineshaft timber from the local monks by fooling them into thinking water has changed into wine. But he’s much more interested in amusing himself with the slightly unhinged Madame Hortense, or spending Basil’s remaining money down in the fleshpots of the port city.
