"A serious contender for best picture of the year. Kate Winslet gives a powerhouse performance." - Tom O'Neil, Los Angeles Times
Director Stephen Daldry (The Hours) brings another literary
neo-classic to the screen with this adaptation of a
novel by Bernhard Schlink. In post-World-War-II Germany,
an illness brings together 15-year-old Michael and the
much older Hanna (Kate Winslet), and their chance encounter
begins a forbidden romance. Hanna mysteriously disappears
one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken.
They are reunited almost a decade later when he discovers
that she is on trial for war crimes. As Hanna’s past
is revealed, Michael (Ralph Fiennes) uncovers a deep
secret that will impact both of their lives. Rated R.
123 minutes.

"...One of the best films of the year..."
- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
The directorial debut of Academy Award winner Charlie
Kaufman premiered earlier this year at the
Cannes Film Festival and was met with
great excitement from both critics and audiences. Academy
Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman
plays theater director Caden Cotard, who views his life
in Schenectady, New York as bleak. His wife Adele (Catherine
Keener) has left him to pursue her painting
in Berlin, taking their young daughter Olive with her.
A new relationship with the alluringly candid Hazel
(Samantha Morton) has prematurely run
aground. And a mysterious condition is systematically
shutting down each of his body's autonomic functions.
Worried about the transience of his life, he moves his
theater company to a warehouse in New York City. He
directs them in a celebration of the mundane, instructing
each to live out their constructed lives in a growing
mockup of the city outside. English and German with
subtitles. Rated R. 124 minutes.

"Movie of the year. Tour de Force."
- David Edelstein, New York Magazine
When Kym (Anne Hathaway) returns to
the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister
Rachel (Rosemarie Dewitt), she brings
a long history of personal crisis and family conflict
along with her. The wedding party’s abundant cast of
friends and relations have gathered for an idyllic weekend
of feasting, music and love, but Kym - with her black-comic
one-liners and knack for bombshell drama - is a catalyst
for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic. Filled
with the rich and eclectic characters that have always
been a hallmark of director Jonathan Demme’s
films, Rachel Getting Married paints a strikingly
perceptive and sometimes hilarious family portrait.
Multiple Oscar nominee Debra Winger
and Tony winner Bill Irwin costar.
Rated R. 114 minutes.
