THIRD FRIDAY FILMS Beginning in March 19 at 11 am, the museum will screen the BBC's Sister Wendy's Story of Painting. The March episode will be Early Art. ART21: ART IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY This event is produced in collaboration with Art21, Inc., a non-profit conntemporary art organization serving artists, students, teachers, and the general public worldwide. LA DANSE: THE PARIS OPERA BALLET Director Frederick Wiseman remains true to form in his38th film and second on ballet (1995’s Ballet captured the American Ballet Theater). Like all his documentaries, his current film is astoundingly beautiful in its continuation of his singular style of one camera; full-bodied, extended shots; and crisp, clean edits. The filmmaker and his cinematographer track the development of seven ballets, ranging from Nureyev’s more traditional Nutcracker to the avant-stylings of Bausch’s Orpheus and Eurydice allowing viewers’ full immersion into all the action within the walls of the Palais Garnier, the 19th-century, neo-Baroque opera house. (NR, 159 mins.) THE MESSENGER Writer/director Oren Moverman makes a vividly touching and vital debut in his film about an American soldier who struggles with an ethical dilemma when he becomes involved with the widow of a fallen officer. Featuring Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster and Samantha Morton, the film showing humanity under siege, reveals wounds inflicted by the Iraq War, not on the battlefield but on the hearts of families of those who never made it home. (R, 112 mins.)
French Director André Téchiné’s (Wild Reeds) newest film is a drama centered on a young Gentile woman who falsely claims she was the target of an anti-Semitic attack and the subsequent media sensation it creates. Adapted for the screen from a stage play based on the incendiary event from five years ago, his film unfolds in a story chockfull of details. Featuring Emilie Dequenne and Catherine Deneuve. (NR, 105 mins., French with English subtitles)
Robin Wright’s incredible beauty and her headline-provoking marriage (and divorce) to Sean Penn have tended to distract from what a great actress she is. She stands on her own in this film, directed from her own novel by Rebecca Miller (daughter of legendary playwright Arthur Miller), giving a soulful and subtle performance as a longtime wife and mother belatedly seeking to find herself in middle age. Also featuring Keanu Reeves, Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Blake Lively. (R, 98 mins.)
Don Argott’s (Wire) new documentary follows the struggle for control of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’ 25 billion dollar collection of modern and post-impressionist art. Weaving a dense web of interviews, archival footage, and graphics, the filmmaker portrays a cabal of politicos and cultural institutions conspiring to legislate the Barnes’ move from its private residence to the tourist heart of Philadelphia providing a smoothly assembled account of art commerce and art as commerce. (NR, 101 mins.) For more information on this program contact Eric A. Hart, President of Cape Cinema Group. Inc.,
