Micmacs
France – 1 hr 44 min - Jean-Pierre Jeunet
with subtitles
The director of the beloved Amelie
brings his trademark whimsical style
back to the screen with this wacky tale
of a video store clerk who tries to bring
down two Parisian arms dealers. Jeunet’s
hyperactive imagination is applied to a
40’s-style caper film with startling results.
And it almost feels like a silent film, given
the sparse dialogue.
The City of Your Final
Destination
Please Give
UK – 1 hr 58 min – James Ivory
A young American academic tries to
persuade the heirs of a celebrated
novelist to allow him to write an
authorized biography. He then turns up
uninvited on the family’s doorstep in
Uruguay to make his case. This
sophisticated drama about love and
literary matters is skillfully presented by
the “Merchant-Ivory” team of James Ivory,
director, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, writer.
With Anthony Hopkins and Laura Linney.
USA – 1 hr 31 min - Nicole Holofcener
PLEASE GIVE is writer/director Nicole
Holofcener’s perceptive and devastatingly
funny take on modern life’s contradictions, good intentions and shaky moral
bearings. Set in New York, the primary
story is about a family that buys an adjoining apartment from an elderly woman.
But they can’t take possession until she
passes away. This tone-perfect film presents a subdued, almost Rohmer-like morality tale. With Catherine Keener, Amanda
Peet, Oliver Platt and Rebecca Hall.
Mother and Child
Exit Through the Gift Shop
USA – 2 hr 6 min – Rodrigo Garcia
Three women’s lives share a common
core: they have been profoundly affected
by adoption. Rodrigo Garcia’s reputation
as a writer for women will increase with
MOTHER AND CHILD, an insightfully
observed and exceptionally acted
ensemble piece. In particular, it spotlights
wonderful performances by Naomi Watts,
Annette Bening and Samuel L. Jackson.
The cast also includes Kerry Washington,
Jimmy Smits, David Morse, and Amy
Brenneman.
USA/UK – 1 hr 26 min – Banksy
This film by the elusive graffiti artist
Banksy was the hottest ticket at the
2010 Sundance Film Fest. Most art
documentaries are dull, glowing tributes
to their subjects. Not so with EXIT, a
raucously entertaining romp through
the contemporary art world, which folds
back on itself to examine the wouldbe filmmaker. This postmodern lark
could be a whole new subgenre: the
prankumentary.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Coco Chanel and
Igor Stravinsky
That Evening Sun
The Kids are All Right
France – 1 hr 58 min - Jan Kounen
with subtitles
This French drama depicts the brief and
tumultuous affair between these two
famous artists. Following on the heels
of Coco Before Chanel, the movie is like
the next chapter of a very handsome
book. Beautifully shot with robust visuals
that are often set to Stravinsky’s music,
COCO AND STRAVINSKY is a pleasure.
USA – 1 hr 50 min – Scott Teems
Hal Holbrook stars as an aging Tennessee
farmer who, frustrated with being
confined to a nursing facility, breaks
out and walks all the way home, only
to discover that his son has leased the
farm to another family. Things then turn
nasty. Holbrook carries this atmospheric
regional film as an irascible old
curmudgeon who will not go gentle into
that good night.
Wild Grass
Get Low
Limited Engagements
France – 1 hr 53 min – Alain Resnais
with subtitles
Master director Alain Resnais, at the
ripe age of 87, continues his career-long
adventure in filmmaking with this playfully
flamboyant melodrama. A lost red wallet
is found, which leads to a freewheeling
network of people. This engaging film
explores chance and middle-age longing
in a subtle and amusing fable of morals
and manners. With Sabine Azema.
USA – 1 hr 42 min – Aaron Schneider
Robert Duvall shines as a back woods
coot who decides to throw a funeral party
for himself – before he dies. Set in the
Depression, the film has the feel of an
American classic. Bill Murray is excellent
as a slightly shady (what did you
expect?) funeral director. With a mix of
sly humor, homespun grace and affecting
poignancy, GET LOW casts an irresistible
spell. A real treat.
C O U N T Y T HEATER.ORG
USA – 1 hr 44 min – Lisa Cholodenko
Two teenage children get the idea to
seek out their unknown birth father
and introduce him to their two mothers
(Annette Bening and Julianne Moore).
Once the donor (Mark Ruffalo) is found,
household dynamics quickly become
scrambled and confused. A crowdpleasing, feel-good comedy for an era in
which the very definition of “family” is up
for grabs.
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 them in or not playing them at
all. We then often schedule those films 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.

Hepburn, Gregory Peck
In this quintessential romantic comedy, Audrey

Sabrina
From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, a new
generation of young filmmakers came to prominence in America. Coppola, Scorsese, Kubrick
and others led Hollywood into an artistic revival
that embraced the ethos of the times. These
directors embraced a gritty realism and a darker world view. While many of the films they
made were still part of the studio system, the
subject matter and styles they introduced set
them apart from the studio traditions. These
influential films return with all of the edge and
bite they had when they were first released.
1954 – 1 hr 53 min – USA – b/w – 35mm
Paramount – d: Billy Wilder – w/Audrey
Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden
The charming Cinderella story of two rich
brothers and the chauffeur’s daughter Sabrina.
Bogart is all work and Holden is all playboy,
but when Hepburn returns from Paris all
grown up and glamorous, both fall under her
spell. (You can see one of Hepburn’s dresses
from the film, designed by Edith Head, in the
James A. Michener Art Museum exhibit, Icons
of Costume: Hollywood’s Golden Era and
Beyond.)

Jaws
Some Like It Hot
1975 – 2 hr 4 min – USA – color – 35mm
Universal – d: Steven Spielberg – w/Roy
Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss
Have you seen this film on the big screen?
Now is the time with the 35th anniversary
of its release. When a great white shark
terrorizes the townspeople of Amity Island, a
police chief, a grizzled shark hunter, and an
oceanographer set out to kill it. Director Steven
Spielberg invented the summer blockbuster
with this white-knuckle thriller. Introduced by
Rick Zengolewicz, local JAWS enthusiast and
memorabilia collector.
1959 – 2 hrs – USA – b/w – 35mm – United
Artists – d: Billy Wilder – w/Jack Lemmon,
Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe
Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis star as a pair
of musicians who go on the run after accidentally witnessing a mob massacre. But how
can they hide? Dress as women and join an
all-women’s band, of course! And then things
really heat up with the arrival of Marilyn Monroe - the band’s curvy, blond, ukulele-playing
singer. This legendary comedy was voted AFI’s
#1 Comedy of All Time.
HOLLYWOOD SUMMER NIGHTS

Hollywood Classics
35mm or HD Digital?
Yes, we are 35mm purists and we show
classic movies in the original 35mm film
format, if we can. However, sometimes films
are not available in 35mm or the prints are in
terrible shape with scratches, bad color and
unacceptable sound. What then?
Fortunately, great strides have been made in
digital technology and sometimes the quality
of a movie in HD Digital is comparable to
35mm or even better. That makes HD Digital
a viable option. Only a few classic films are
currently available in HD Digital, though, so
this is still only a limited alternative.
So, what’s the bottom line? We’ll bring you
classic movies in the best possible format.
Our default choice is 35mm film, but if the
HD Digital format is better, then we’ll go
with digital. We list the chosen format in the
credits above and on our website, so you’ll
know which format we’ll be screening. (One
caveat, though: if a print is booked and listed
in 35mm and it arrives in terrible shape, we
reserve the option to jump to digital. So, check
our website before you come to the theater to
get any late breaking news on the presentation
format.)

Raging Bull
1980 – 2 hr 9 min – USA – b/w – 35mm
United Artists – d: Martin Scorsese – w/
Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty
Robert De Niro won an Oscar for his portrayal
of boxer Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s
widely acclaimed masterpiece, which paints
a raw portrait of a tormented soul unable to
control his violent outbursts. Marked by De
Niro’s powerful performance and Scorsese’s
gritty, black-and-white realism, the film also
launched the Hollywood career of Joe Pesci.

An American in Paris
1951 – 1 hr 53 min – USA – color
35mm – MGM – d: Vincente Minnelli
w/Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant
Winner of seven Oscars, this delightful MGM
musical extravaganza stars Gene Kelly as an
American artist living in the City of Light, enjoying the patronage of a well-heeled, amorous
gallery owner – and swiftly falling for a willowy
French street urchin. All of this to the music of
Gershwin. (You can see Gene Kelly’s harlequin
cape from the film in the James A. Michener Art
Museum exhibit, Icons of Costume: Hollywood’s
Golden Era and Beyond.)
County: July 7 Wed 7:00
SPAM SPAM SPAM...This special evening
celebrates the comic wiles of the British comedy
troupe that made us sing about Spam and
question the liveliness of a certain pet shop
parrot. This Python Fest will include trivia, a silly
walk competition, and prizes. We’ll also screen
some classic sketches from their TV show and
conclude with a screening of Life of Brian.
Reciprocal Benefits at the

Life of Brian
1979 – 1 hr 34 min – UK – color – 35mm
d: Terry Jones – w/John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham
Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael

A religious satire about Brian, born in the stable

Myrna Loy
Meet Nick and Nora Charles, one of the most
successful detective duos in movie history.
A pair of stylish sleuthing spouses, who -between martinis and crackling back-and-forth
dialogue – investigate the disappearance of a
wealthy inventor. Powell and Loy exude energy
in this witty and urbane whodunit.
1975 – 2 hr 13 min – USA – color – HD
Digital – United Artists – R – d: Milos Forman
w/ Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher
Jack Nicholson stars in a memorable
performance as R.P. McMurphy, a free-spirit
who defies authority at every level. He ends up
in an asylum after faking insanity and there he
finds himself in an all-consuming struggle with
Head Nurse Ratched. ONE FLEW is a biting,
tragic satire about society and the human
spirit. It won an Oscar for Best Picture.

our website for more details.
Then, of course, there’s the screening of The Big Lebowski
movie itself, in which Jeff Bridges plays an aging Los Angeles
hippie-type in a stoned update of Raymond Chandler. There’s
mistaken identity, a kidnapping plot, some rug micturation, and a
ton of bowling.
Do NOT miss this evening – it really ties our summer together!!
– Yeah, well, that’s just, you know, like, your opinion, man.
Stagecoach
1939 – 1 hr 36 min – USA – b/w – HD Digital

Claire Trevor, Andy Devine, John Carradine
A wealthy banker, a drunken doctor, a “fallen
woman”, a gambler, and a revenge-seeking
cowboy make their way on a stagecoach
through hostile Indian territory. More than just
cowboys and Indians, this Western gem is
propelled by a great ensemble cast in a heartpounding race across Monument Valley. John
Wayne broke into stardom with his role as the
Ringo Kid.

the same way after watching Stanley Kubrick’s
adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ cult novel.
Teenage miscreant Alex wanders aimlessly
amid a bleak, futuristic urban landscape,
stealing, raping and beating innocent people,

landmark film that is still disturbing today.

A mysterious humanoid alien lands in Washington, D.C., with a warning to Earth’s people
to cease their violent behavior. But panic
erupts when a nervous soldier shoots the
messenger, and his robot companion tries to
destroy the capital. A sci-fi hallmark that offers
wry commentary on the political climate of
the 1950s, this classic is less concerned with
special effects than with its potent message.

1944 – 1 hr 28 min – USA – b/w – 35mm
20th Century Fox – d: Otto Preminger – w/
Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Vincent Price
Laura Hunt has been murdered, and as New
York Detective Mark McPherson investigates,
he finds that everyone seems to be in love
with her – and he, too, gradually falls under
her spell. But things aren’t always as they
seem. A perfect noir with a great supporting
performance by Vincent Price.
1967 – 1 hr 45 min – USA – color – 35mm
d: Mike Nichols – w/ Dustin Hoffman, Anne
Bancroft, Katharine Ross
A landmark coming-of-age comedy that
caught the mood of the time, THE GRADUATE
is as fresh today as ever. Dustin Hoffman
gives a star-making performance as a recent
college graduate who is adrift in life. After an
entanglement with family friend Mrs Robinson,
he falls in love with her daughter and things
get very messy. Satiric, witty, and a true classic.
With music from Simon and Garfunkel.

A masterpiece of suspense with a large
helping of guilt and anxiety, STRANGERS is
Hitchcock at the top of his game. Robert
Walker gives a mesmerizing performance as
a peculiar man who meets tennis star Farley
Granger on a train. Their casual banter turns
to a discussion of strangers doing “exchange

LAWRENCE is a sprawling blockbuster of an epic about

exciting, spectacularly beautiful and, needless to say,
was meant to be seen on the big screen. Peter O’Toole
