Main Attractions
What main films will play at the
Ambler? This section lists the Main
Attractions that we intend to play in the
coming weeks. Additional unlisted films
will also become available. This list is
only an educated guess, though, since
film release plans often change.
When will these main films play?
Scheduling our Main Attractions is weekto-week. On Monday, we decide what
main films will play starting that Friday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the
showtimes for the upcoming week and
then update our website and telephone
hotline. We also send out a weekly email
(which you can receive by signing up
at our website). Sometimes, we book
a main film a few weeks in advance,
which we post on our website’s “Coming
Attractions” section.

hotline at 215 345 7855.)
Her
USA - Spike Jonze
A lonely writer develops an unlikely
relationship with his newly-purchased
operating system that’s designed to
meet his every need. From the unique
perspective of filmmaker Spike Jonze
(Being John Malkovich, Adaptation), HER
is an original love story that explores
the evolving nature—and the risks—of
intimacy in the modern world. With
Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson,
Amy Adams, and Rooney Mara.
Austenland
UK/USA - Jerusha Hess - 1 hr 37 min
AUSTENLAND is a romantic comedy
about a young woman whose lifelong
obsession with all things Jane Austen
leads her to an eccentric theme park in
England based on the author’s writings.
There she hopes to find a handsome
young suitor. The filmmaking is warm
and clever, even surprisingly literate,
although definitely more unrestrained
than Austen’s storytelling. Featuring
Keri Russell, Jennifer Coolidge and Jane
Seymour.
Haute Cuisine
France - Christian Vincent - 1 hr 35 min
w/subtitles
The business of food is fast becoming a
subgenre of its own. In Haute Cuisine,
we’re led inside the Elysee Palace in
Paris for an engaging drama about the
woman who became the head chef for
president Francois Mitterrand. Despite
jealous resentment from the other male
kitchen staff, she quickly establishes
herself, thanks to her indomitable spirit
and her love of fine cuisine. A likeable,
light-hearted film with a ton of food and
kitchen preparations!
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Populaire
12 Years a Slave
France - Régis Roinsard - 1 hr 51 min
w/subtitles
A fresh and colorful romantic comedy
about typing? POPULAIRE is an
enormously fun period piece set in
the 1950s. Rose is a small-town girl
who happens to be a super-fast typist.
Louis spots her talent and enters her in
a series of typewriting contests. Love,
on the other hand, is not that straight
forward in this screwball comedy. A sweet
and attractive film.
USA - Steve McQueen - 2 hr 13 min
In the pre-Civil War United States, a free
black man from upstate New York is
abducted and sold into slavery. Facing this
overwhelming injustice, he struggles to
stay alive and to retain his dignity. In the
twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey,
a chance meeting with a Canadian
abolitionist alters everything. Based on a
true story. With Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael
Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Paul Dano, Benedict
Cumberbatch, and Paul Giamatti.
Wadjda
Closed Circuit
Salinger
Limited Engagements
UK/USA - John Crowley - 1 hr 36 min
Following an explosion in a busy London
market, Britain is confronted with
one the most high-profile trials in its
history. Defense lawyers step into this
extraordinary case and begin to discover
a possible British Secret Service coverup and other irregularities. As tensions
build, their reputations and lives are put
in jeopardy. Starring Eric Bana, Rebecca
Hall, Julia Stiles, and Jim Broadbent.
USA - Shane Salerno - 2 hr
This bold new documentary about the
reclusive and very influential author J.D.
Salinger, features interviews with his
friends and colleagues, as well as unseen
historic film footage. Also included are
interviews with artists who talk about
Salinger’s profound influence on their
lives, including Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Edward Norton, John Cusack, Danny
DeVito, Robert Towne, Tom Wolfe, E.L.
Doctorow, and Gore Vidal.
A MBLERT HEATER.ORG
Saudi Arabia - Haifaa Al-Mansour
1 hr 38 min - w/subtitles
WADJDA was shot entirely in Saudi Arabia
and is the story of a young girl living in
a suburb of Riyadh determined to raise
enough money to buy a bike in a society
that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl’s
virtue. Brilliantly directed and superbly
written, this is a warmly emotional and
gently provocative coming-of-age drama
with a terrific central performance.
WADJDA is also the first feature film ever
made by a female Saudi filmmaker.
We try to play each of our Main
Attractions films for a full multi-week
run. Sometimes, however, we are unable
to play a film in a timely or complete
way, and it becomes a question of either
squeezing it in or not playing it at all. We
then often schedule that film for a couple
of mid-week screenings, called Limited
Engagements. Make sure that you sign
up for our weekly email blast, so that
you don’t miss these short, last-chance
screenings.

march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry
people. With Tom Hiddleston and Mark Gatiss.

A sizzling staging of Bizet’s famous love story
set on a stage suspended above the water on
Sydney Harbour. Soldier Don José abandons
his childhood sweetheart and deserts the
army when he falls under the alluring gypsy
Carmen’s spell. Seductive melodies and
fiery Spanish rhythms combine with richly
costumed soldiers, smugglers, cigarette girls,
urchins, matadors and flamenco dancers
swirling across the luminous set. Mezzosoprano Rinat Shaham, one of the world’s
most acclaimed Carmens, performs the title
role with tenor Dmytro Popov as Don José.
($18/$16)
Rigoletto
2 hr 20 min (including two intermissions)
In honor of the bicentennial of the birth of
Giuseppe Verdi and set on the stunningly
beautiful open-air stage in Taormina, Sicily.
The love between a deformed and ridiculed
court jester, Rigoletto, and his daughter Gilda,
is pushed to the limit in Verdi’s dark tale
of betrayal and vengeance. Director Enrico
Castiglione sends the audience on a dramatic
journey of passionate love and sacrifice.
($18/$16)
La Traviata
2 hr 40 min (including one intermission)
As one of the most widely performed operas
in the world, Verdi’s immensely popular La
Traviata requires a single soprano to exude
dramatic intuition, presence, and soul for
a character that is alive and sorrowful until
her final breath. With a cast led by the one
of the most famous contemporary Violettas,
Diana Damrau, this brand new production of
La Traviata presented at Teatro alla Scala’s
Opening Night is a special event not to miss.
($18/$16)

Minimally invasive relief from pelvic pain,
heavy bleeding and bladder problems.
If your symptoms are putting limits
on your active life, help is available.
Chestnut Hill Hospital is a Center
of Excellence in Minimally Invasive
Gynecology. Skilled surgeons use
tiny incisions and minimally invasive techniques
to treat endometriosis, fibroids and many other
conditions. That may mean less pain, less scarring,
and a quicker recovery than with traditional surgery.*
Call 215-248-3100 to find a gynecologic surgeon,
or visit ChestnutHillHealth.com to learn more.
*Typical results depend on many factors. Consult your physician about the
benefits and risks of minimally invasive surgery for your condition.

Retirement comes sooner than anyone expects—
and often before many people have the chance to
prepare. In order to live in retirement—the way
you want to live—you have to plan. The sooner
you begin, the greater opportunity you will have to
accumulate the wealth you will need to live a long and
comfortable life.
