The Deep Blue Sea
May 23, 2012 4:30 PM
Rated: R
Master chronicler of post-War England, Terence Davies (The Long Day Closes, The House of Mirth) directs Rachel Weisz as a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. In a deeply vulnerable performance, Weisz plays Hester Collyer, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russell Beale) and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage. Her encounter with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, throws her life in turmoil as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated.
The film is an adaptation of British playwright Terence Rattigan’s 1952 play, featuring one of the greatest roles for an actress in modern theater.
May 16-18, 21-22 screening room. 98 mins.
Being Flynn
May 23, 2012 4:45 PM
Rated: R
Being Flynn is the new dramatic feature from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy). Adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City, the movie explores bonds both unbreakable and fragile between parent and child. Nick Flynn (Paul Dano—Little Miss Sunshine, There Will be Blood) is a young writer seeking to define himself. He misses his late mother, Jody (Julianne Moore), and her loving nature. But his father, Jonathan (Robert DeNiro), is not even a memory, as Nick has not seen the man in 18 years. Jonathan impulsively reaches out to Nick, and the two come face-to-face. To give the two of them a shot at a real future, Nick will have to decide whom to seek redemption for first: himself or his father.
Evocatively told, ruefully funny, and moving in its depiction of the ties that bind, Being Flynn tells a story that reveals universal truths.
May 23-24, 26, 28–29 screening room. 102 mins.
