In the mood to stay out of the out-of-doors over the winter weekend? Could we suggest a evening with a DVD?
Blue Valentine
Director Derek Cianfrance’s unflinching observation of the first flush of love and the devastation wrought when it slowly comes apart.
See what David and Margaret think. Hard to watch, but highly recommended by this librarian.
True Grit
The Cohen Brothers remix and remake the 1969 classic starring John Wayne.
Rabbit Hole
Something different from the director of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus.
How do Margaret and David rate it? Find the trailer here.
Me and Orson Welles
Before things got all crazy with Citizen Kane, Orson Welles cut his creative teeth on New York theatre. Me and Orson Welles tells the behind the scenes story of the 1937 Welles directed, Mercury Theatre production of Julius Caesar.
A Single Man
Adapted from Christopher Isherwood’s novel of loss, the burden of love, outsiderdom, and loneliness and the will to life. Watch the trailer.
Winter’s Bone
I couldn’t write anything better to describe this film than the good people at Wikipedia:
“It explores the interrelated themes of close and distant family ties, the power and speed of gossip, patriarchy, self-sufficiency, and rural poverty in the Ozarks as they are impacted by the pervasive underworld of illegal methamphetamine labs”.
Enough said.
