A Dangerous Method
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Playing at 3:30 pm.
2011/UK/R/99 min
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Cast: Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, and Viggo Mortensen
On the eve of World War I, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, “A Dangerous Method” explores the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightly), the beautiful but disturbed young woman who comes between them. Sensuality, ambition and deceit set the scene for the pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come together and split apart, forever changing the face of modern thought.
“Freud is brought wonderfully to life by Viggo Mortensen.”
-Todd Mc Carthy, The Hollywood Reporter
“A triumph of filmmaking. Michael Fassbender is flat out magnificent as Carl Jung.”
-Erica Abeel, Huffington Post
“Gorgeously shot, brilliantly acted, intelligently written and incisively detailed. Keira Knighty is dazzling, simply dazzling!”
-Stephen Schaefer, Variety
“An intellectually vigorous, occasionally kinky term paper on the riddle of sexual desire and the dangers of scientific ambition.”
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Berardinelli, ReelViews
Undefeated
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Playing at 1:00 pm.
2011/USA/PG-13/113 min
Directors: Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin
Cast: Bill Courtney, O.C. Brown and Montrail “Money” Brown
“Undefeated” follows a year in the life of the Manassas Tigers, the football team of a high school in the impoverished community of North Memphis, Tenn. Financially under-resourced, psychically whipped and physically battered after renting themselves out for richer teams to practice on, the Tigers went into the 2009-10 season with only one advantage: Coach Bill Courtney, the prosperous owner of a nearby custom lumber company who for the past several years has volunteered to whip the Tigers into fighting trim. Focusing more on winning young men than football games, the football program nevertheless began resurrecting itself and creating the most talented team Manassas had ever fielded; a team that seems poised to end the playoff jinx that has plagued the school since time immemorial. “Undefeated” went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2012.
“For a documentary that’s almost engineered to lift your heart, Undefeated is very well done.”
-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
“Deftly balancing the students’ stories with that of Courtney’s, the film creates a fully rounded portrait of a corner of America rarely examined.”
-Claudia Puig, USA Today
“Undefeated is an emotional and effective film.”
-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
