Prince Avalanche (2013) Directed by David Gordon Green August 27 - Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. August 29 - Thursday - 7:00 p.m. August 31 - Saturday - 7:00 p.m. September 1 - Sunday - 3:00 p.m. David Gordon Green (George Washington, All the Real Girls) gets back to his independent roots with this realistic character study of people trying to find meaning in their lives. An odd couple, meditative and stern Alvin and his girlfriend’s brother, dopey and insecure Lance, leave the city to spend the summer repairing a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection. Adapted from the Icelandic film Either Way, Prince Avalanche has wonderful performances by Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. (2K DCP. 94 min. Rated R.) I’m So Excited (2013) Directed by Pedro Almodóvar August 22 - Thursday - 7:00 p.m. August 23 - Friday - 7:00 p.m. August 24 - Saturday - 7:00 p.m. August 25 - Sunday - 3:00 p.m. A technical failure puts a varied group of people in a precarious situation aboard a plane flying to Mexico City. The flight attendants are baroque characters who, in the face of danger, try to forget their own problems and devote themselves to making the flight as enjoyable as possible. Their defenselessness provokes a general catharsis among the passengers and crew which ends up becoming the best way to escape from the idea of death. This catharsis, developed in the tone of a riotous, moral comedy, fills the time with sensational confessions that help them forget the anguish of the moment. In Spanish language with English subtitles. (2K DCP. 90 min. Rated R.) Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (2013) Directed by David Lowery September 5 - Thursday - 7:00 p.m. September 6 - Friday - 9:30 p.m. September 7 - Saturday - 9:30 p.m. September 8 - Sunday - 3:00 p.m. Set in the 1970’s Texas Hill Country, director David Lowery paints a poetic picture, evoking the mythology of westerns and saturating the dramatic space with an aching sense of loss. Featuring powerful performances by Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints is a story of love, motherhood and searching for peace while faced with an unrelenting past. An impassioned, young outlaw-couple are apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Four years later, the couple tries to piece together their lives, full of new and old challenges.
