CITIZENFOUR
‘71
In January 2013, Laura Poitras started receiving anonymous encrypted
e-mails from “CITIZENFOUR,” who claimed to have evidence of illegal covert
surveillance programs run by the NSA in collaboration with other intelligence
agencies worldwide. Five months later, she and reporters Glenn Greenwald
and Ewen MacAskill flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with
the man who turned out to be Edward Snowden. She brought her camera
with her. The resulting film is history unfolding before our eyes. (Rated R –
114 minutes)
Yann Demange’s feature debut ’71 is a film steeped in familiar tropes from
the first minute. Its protagonist is Gary Hook, a steely but untested British
soldier played by Jack O’Connell. His untested commanding officer (Sam
Reid) is stiff of upper lip but shaky of voice. And the situation their unit is
thrust into, in 1971 Belfast at the height of the Troubles, quickly descends
into bloody chaos, with the hero separated from his unit and struggling to
survive the night. (Rated R – 99 minutes)

Far from the Madding Crowd
The Stanford Prison Experiment
The story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene
(Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak
(Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching
willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant;
and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor.
This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature
of relationships and love - as well as the human ability to overcome hardships
through resilience and perseverance. Based on the novel by Thomas Hardy.
(Rated PG13 – 119 minutes)
In 1971, students at Stanford University were divided into guards and
prisoners in a mock jail. Adapting it for the screen, Kyle Patrick Alvarez cranks
up the claustrophobia to nightmarish levels. Philip Zimbardo’s disastrous
prison study is heading to the big screen yet again this year in The Stanford
Prison Experiment, a film that promises to be the most authentic take on
what really happened behind bars. It premiered at Sundance this year to
strong reviews with The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman calling it “masterful”.

Civil War historian Michael K. Shaffer will discuss former Civil War soldiers,
who made their way westward and, like ‘Rooster’ Cogburn in True Grit, found a
new life replete with many challenges. Cowboys worked the western frontiers
for roughly 20 years after the stacking of arms at Appomattox. Lawlessness
slowly gave way to the strong arm of law, as Cogburn and other marshals,
who hardened their skills during the war, brought justice to the territories.

Piano Quintet (1802), and Rossini’s Duet for Cello and String Bass (1792).

Slow West
The Babadook
A dark river of fatalism courses beneath the beautifully photographed
vistas of “Slow West,” an intriguingly off-center Western that brings a bevy
of European talent to bear on an American frontier story. Starring Kodi
Smit-McPhee as a young Scotsman who’s made the journey to Colorado in
search of the woman he loves, and Michael Fassbender as a wily companion
who turns out to be hunting the same quarry. John Maclean’s impeccably
crafted writing-directing debut at times has a distinctly Coen-esque. (Rated

Amelia, who lost her husband in a car crash, struggles to cope with her fate

that hides in dark areas. Even Amelia seems to feel the effect of Babadook
