When will films play?
Main Attractions
Film Booking. Our main films play week-to-week from Friday
through Thursday. Every Monday we determine what new films
will start on Friday, what current films will end on Thursday,
and what current films will continue through Friday for another
week. All films are subject to this week-to-week decision-making process. We try to play all of our Main Attraction films as
soon as possible. (For more info on the business of booking
films and why some films play longer or sooner than others,
visit our website.)
Support the County Theater.
When Will a Film’s Run Start?
After we decide on Monday (Tuesday at the latest) what new
films will start on Friday, we immediately let you know on our
website and on our hotline.
We’ll send you an email message every Tuesday as to what
is coming and going on Friday. (Sign up by emailing us at
[email protected].)
If there is a particular film that you don’t want to miss, call
our box office (215/345-6789 ext. 6), and leave your name
and telephone number and the particular film that you want
to see (on the answering machine is ok). We’ll put that on our
“Film Call List,” and then we’ll call you on the right Monday
and tell you that your film is starting that Friday. (Two requests:
please leave a telephone number where you have an answering machine, and please don’t request every film on the flyer.)
And When Will a Film’s Run End?
This decision happens by the same process – we decide on
Monday which films will end on Thursday. Again, we immediately let you know on our website, on our hotline, and in our
weekly email messages.

MAIN ATTRACTIONS
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Babel
This Film is Not Yet Rated
The U.S. vs. John Lennon
USA – 1 hr 38 min – David Leaf and John
Scheinfeld
THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON examines
the life of one of the most influential
men of his time, and how his roles
as both a musician and an antiwar
activist influenced our view of America.
Interweaving historical footage and
interviews with Yoko Ono, Walter Cronkite,
and G. Gordon Liddy, this film touches
upon issues of war, peace, and truth,
exploring the Vietnam era through the
lens of today.
Fur
USA – Steven Shainberg
Nicole Kidman stars in this beautifully
made drama about Diane Arbus, one of
the most influential and idiosyncratic
photographers of the twentieth century.
Seamlessly intertwining fictional
and actual events, FUR, subtitled An
Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus,
aspires to reveal artistic truth through
the convergence of the real and the
imagined. A captivating glimpse into the
mind of a unique artist.
USA – 1 hr 37 min – Kirby Dick
THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED is an
expose about that powerful and
shadowy force in Hollywood: the Motion
Picture Association of America. You
know, the people who rate the movies.
Including interviews with iconoclastic
directors John Waters, Kevin Smith,
and Darren Aronofsky, the film offers a
provocative commentary on the fickle
ratings system. This film, due to its
subject matter, is in fact rated NC-17.
USA – 2 hr 22 min – Alejandro Gonzalez
Inarritu
In English and with subtitles
From the writer/director team that made
the stunning 21 Grams and Amores
Perros, BABEL is an intense drama
about people’s inability to communicate
in the contemporary world. Interweaving
three narrative threads, four countries,
and multiple languages, Inarritu creates
a taut and urgent film. Starring Brad Pitt,
Cate Blanchett, and Gael Garcia Bernal.
The Science of Sleep
Fast Food Nation
USA – 1 hr 54 min – Richard Linklater
Eclectic director Richard Linklater
(Before Sunrise, Dazed and Confused)
always delivers different and interesting
films. In FAST FOOD NATION, he has
turned a best-selling nonfiction book
into a fictional drama set in the fast
food industry. The story focuses on an
executive for Mickey’s, a fast food chain,
who is forced to face the dark side
of this mega business. Starring Greg
Kinnear, and also with Ethan Hawke,
Bruce Willis, and Patricia Arquette.
Riding Alone for
Thousands of Miles
China/Japan – 1 hr 48 min
Zhang Yimou
With subtitles
Chinese director Zhang Yimou returns to
the touching emotionalism of his earlier
small-scale dramas. A Japanese father
tries to reconcile with his grown son, and
that leads him on a long journey with
many adventures in China. Gorgeously
shot, this film delivers a satisfying
emotional punch.
For Your Consideration
USA – Christopher Guest
Christopher Guest is our most beloved
“mockumentarian,” and he returns here
with a riotous romp through the world
of independent filmmaking. When three
actors in a small “art film” get caught
up in the buzz of awards season, egos
begin to careen out of control. The cast
includes all of the usual suspects—Fred
Willard, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean,
and Parker Posey. If you love movies, this
satire is right up your alley.
France – 1 hr 45 min – Michel Gondry
In English & French w/subtitles
Michel Gondry, the vibrantly creative
filmmaker who directed Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, has
returned with this whimsical and playful
film. Set in Paris (and spoken in multiple
languages), SLEEP is a journey into the
peculiar world of an insecure young man
who attempts to connect with a female
neighbor while trying to separate his
bizarre dreams from waking life. Starring
Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte
Gainsbourg.
Volver
Spain – 2 hr – Pedro Almodovar
With subtitles
Pedro Almodovar continues to explore
the feminine mystique of mothers and
daughters with this lush tale about
a mother’s return to her home town
after her death to fix the problems that
she couldn’t resolve during life. The
enchanting Penelope Cruz lights up the
screen in yet another Almodovar triumph.
Also with Carmen Maura.
Renaissance
France – 1 hr 43 min – Christian
Volckman – In English
This futuristic drama is an amazing
visual accomplishment. Combining
animation and live-action,
RENAISSANCE is a step beyond what
we’ve seen before. The film’s black-andwhite widescreen look is closer to comic
book panels than digital filmmaking.
Combine Metropolis, Blade Runner,
and Sin City, set them in Paris in 2054
and you’ll have a sense of what this
mournful film noir is like. A must for the
cinematically adventurous.
C OUNTYT HEATER.ORG
The Queen
UK – Stephen Frears
Stephen Frears directs this fascinating
British drama, which chronicles the
political fallout from Princess Diana’s
death as seen through the interplay
between Queen Elizabeth and Prime
Minister Tony Blair. Helen Mirren and
Michael Sheen are superb in the leads
as their characters strive to handle the
tragedy both publicly and privately.
Infamous
USA – 1 hr 55 min – Douglas McGrath
Another film about Truman Capote?
Yes, and this one is just as good as last
year’s Capote. Adapted from the bestselling biography by George Plimpton,
INFAMOUS also recounts the period
of Truman Capote’s career when he
researched and wrote In Cold Blood.
INFAMOUS has its own unique and
stylish spin on the subject and is a
fascinating companion piece. The cast
includes Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock,
Peter Bogdanovich, and Jeff Daniels.

ince emerging from NYU’s Tisch
School of the Arts in the 1980’s, Jim
Jarmusch’s films have shaped the American
consciousness. His unique visual style,
offbeat sense of humor, and diverse cast of
characters have firmly established him at the
The Fallen Idol
1948 – 1 hr 34 min – Great Britain – b&w
35 mm – d: Carol Reed – w/ Ralph Richardson
A young boy idolizes a household servant
who is suspected of murdering his wife. THE
FALLEN IDOL is a near perfect piece of smallscale cinema, built from Graham Greene’s
excellent screenplay and the clever nuances
of acting and camera technique drawn out by
director Carol Reed. Reed and Greene would
successfully collaborate again on The Third Man
(1949) and Our Man in Havana (1959).

In association with the Lower Merion

their featured book, Josh Grogan’s Marley
and Me, BMFI presents BEST IN SHOW, the
hilarious mockumentary that follows a group
of overzealous dog-owners as they travel to
Philadelphia to compete in the Mayflower
Kennel Club Dog Show. Biting humor, eclectic
characters, and a cast that includes comedic
luminaries Christopher Guest, Fred Willard,
Michael McKean, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara
and many more make this film a wickedly funny
winner.
1956 – 1 hr 38 min – USA – color – 35 mm
d: Fred Wilcox - w/ Leslie Nielsen
Fifties sci-fi at its purest. Space travelers visit a
distant planet where an expatriate has built his
own empire. Don’t miss seeing Leslie Nielsen
play the romantic hero, and catch the screen
debut of one of the best-loved androids in
cinematic history, Robby the Robot. Academy
Award-nominated special effects with a bit of
The Tempest thrown in make this a classic of
the period.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome film
preservationist Lou DiCrescenzo back to the

on a rocketship to evade the police and are
accidentally sent to the moon, only to discover
that it is ruled by foxy female extraterrestrials.

d: Jim Jarmusch
MYSTERY TRAIN has three stories involving
foreign tourists who converge at a seedy
Memphis hotel. They include two Japanese
Elvis Presley fans, an Italian woman who
sees Elvis’s ghost, and a Presley look-alike.
It’s a rambling, leisurely film that contains a
multitude of small pleasures. The screening at

Greenberg. The screening at Bryn Mawr will

English and Director of Cinema Studies at the

1984 – 1 hr 29 min – USA – b&w – 35 mm
d: Jim Jarmusch
Jarmusch’s dark comedy is one of the seminal
films that launched contemporary independent
filmmaking. It’s more or less about two New York
hipsters who travel to Cleveland and then down
to Florida. Not much happens, but its quirky
irony makes American alienation extremely
entertaining. Featuring splendid cinematography
by Tom DiCillo and the intriguing music of John
Lurie. Both screenings will be introduced and
discussed by Gretjen Clausing, Program
Director for Scribe Video Center.

d: Jim Jarmusch
DEAD MAN is a mystical odyssey through
the Old West. Johnny Depp stars as a mildmannered accountant from Cleveland who
goes west for a job only to become a wanted
outlaw on the run. Breathtaking black and
white cinematography by Robby Muller and
haunting solo guitar work by Neil Young make
this transcendent journey soar. The screenings
of Dead Man (except the midnight shows) will
be introduced and discussed by our Program
Directors.
2005 – 1 hr 47 min – USA – color – 35 mm
d: Jim Jarmusch
Bill Murray gives a drolly amusing performance
in this comedy about an aging bachelor’s
hesitant hunt for a son he may have fathered
years before. Jarmusch’s episodic style works
perfectly here. The stellar cast includes Jeffrey
Wright, Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange, Tilda
Swinton, Julie Delpy, and Chloe Sevigny. The
screening at the Ambler will be discussed by
one of our Program Directors. The screening at
