Hello Everyone!

This Friday, for one week only, we'll have the Palme d'Or winner from this year's Cannes Film Festival - IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT.  This film is an edge-of-your-seat ride...but also laced with some very funny moments and lots of powerful talking points.  Filmed in secret in Iran by the brilliant filmmaker Jafar Panahi, this film is a homerun. It will certainly be a part of the Oscar conversation in a couple months, so don't miss it on the big screen!

NUREMBERG, which our audiences are loving, will stick around for one more week. And I'm happy to announce that we found a way to bring FRANKENSTEIN back for 3 more screenings this weekend.  If you still need to see BUGONIA, this Thursday (Nov. 13) will be your last chance.  On Thursday, Nov. 20, we will open both RENTAL FAMILY and JAY KELLY.

"Open Caption Mondays" are much appreciated by many of our regulars.  On Monday, Nov. 17, our screenings of IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT and NUREMBERG will be presented with Open Captions (aka - captions presented on the screen).  That said, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is subtitled for all screenings since it is in Persian.

Synopsis for IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: "Vahid, an Azerbaijani auto mechanic, was once imprisoned by Iranian authorities. During his sentence, he was interrogated blindfolded. One day, a man named Eghbal enters his workshop. His prosthetic leg creaks, and Vahid thinks he recognizes one of his former torturers." (Neon)
THE WASHINGTON POST writes, "Panahi doesn’t make statement films; he makes question films, designed to instigate soul-searching and debate," and THE TORONTO STAR writes, "Shot in secret under constant threat, the film draws on the director's own harrowing experiences, infusing every frame with urgency and authenticity."

Synopsis forJAY KELLY: From Noah Baumbach, director of THE SQUID AND THE WHALE, WHILE WE'RE YOUNG and MARRIAGE STORY (as well as co-writer of BARBIE), comes his latest film starring George Clooney, Adam Sandler and Laura Dern. "Famous movie actor Jay Kelly embarks on a journey of self discovery confronting both his past and present, accompanied by his devoted manager Ron."

Synopsis forRENTAL FAMILY: "An American actor in Tokyo struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese 'rental family' agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients' worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality."
