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. 215 345 6789 SERIES ‘06 SPECIAL PROGRAMS AT 3 THEATERS.

CINEMATHEQUE County: Nov 6 Mon 7:00 Ambler: Nov 9 Thurs 7:00 Bryn Mawr: Nov 8 Wed 7:00 AUTUMN SERIES ‘06 CINEMATHEQUE County: Nov 13 Mon 7:00 T H E AT E R T H E AT E R 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). Bryn Mawr: Nov 15 Wed 7:00 Best In Show 2000 – 1 hr 30 min – USA – color – 35 mm d: Christopher Guest In association with the Lower Merion Libraries’ One Book, One Lower Merion and 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. Missile to the Moon 1958 – 1hr 18 min – USA – b&w – 35 mm d: Richard E. Cunha It is with great pleasure that we welcome film preservationist Lou DiCrescenzo back to the County for a screening of the 50’s sci-fi gem MISSILE TO THE MOON. Escaped convicts hide 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. Lou will also present pre-show cartoons and previews from the era, so don’t miss this 1950’s camp extravaganza! AMBLER Ambler: Nov 21 Tues 7:00 Bryn Mawr: Nov 22 Wed 7:00 Stranger Than Paradise Jim Jarmusch A Film Forum with Jennifer Steinberg forefront of independent film.

Check our separate flyer or visit our website for details. 1989 – 1 hr 53 min – USA – color – 35 mm 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 the County will be introduced and discussed by filmmaker and screenwriter David Greenberg. The screening at Bryn Mawr will be hosted by Timothy Corrigan, Professor of English and Director of Cinema Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. 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. Ambler: Dec 7 Thurs 7:00 Bryn Mawr: Dec 9 Sat Midnight County: Dec 11 Mon 7:00 Broken Flowers Dead Man 1995 – 2 hrs – USA – b&w – 35 mm 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 the County will be introduced and discussed by Eugene Martin, filmmaker and film professor at Temple University.
