THE CLASS
March 6–8 and March 13–15
Friday 6 and 8:15 pm, Saturday 5 pm, Sunday 2 and 4:15 pm

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, French film director, Laurent Cantet’s docudrama was shot with real students and teachers in a raw, improvisational style to chronicle the drama that unfolds over one year in a single middle school class located in the multi-ethnic 20th arrondissement of Paris.
128 minutes; French with English subtitles

CAIRO STATION
March 20–22

“With its tense score, contrasting performances of Chahine (twitchy and tightly coiled) and Rostom (sexy but cruel) and audacious moments of formal brilliance (Chahine even slots in a musical be-bop interlude from Mike and the Skyrockets), Cairo Station is a cinematic triumph.” Jamie Russell, BBC. Cairo Station serves as a metaphor for all of Egypt in this re-issue of the 1958 masterpiece from Egyptian director, Yousseff Chahine.
98 minutes; Arabic with English subtitles

TWO LOVERS
March 27–29

Joaquim Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow star in this Brooklyn-set romantic drama about a bachelor torn between the family friend his parents wish he would marry and his beautiful but volatile new neighbor. 110 minutes; R for language, some sexuality and brief drug use.

GOMORRA
April 3–5
Friday 6 and 8:30 pm, Saturday 5 pm, Sunday 2 and 4:30 pm

“The acclaimed winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and Italy's entry in the Oscar race, [Gomorra] is a vividly panoramic film about a pitiless world of criminality. A world where no human impulse or attempt at decency goes unpunished, a world where it's worth your life to get out alive.” Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times.
137 minutes; Italian with English subtitles

12
April 10–12
Friday 6 and 8:45 pm, Saturday 5 pm, Sunday 2 and 4:45 pm

“Expansively, dramatically, magnificently Russian, Nikita Mikhalkov’s loose remake of 12 Angry Men plays like vintage jazz from a veteran band.” Ronnie Scheib, Variety. Twelve jurors must decide the fate of a Chechen teenager charged with murdering his stepfather in this Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
159 minutes; PG-13 for violent images, disturbing content, thematic material, brief sexual and drug references, and smoking.
