Wednuday Recent raves have always been shown Wednesdays at the Brattle. From the French farce, The Dinner Game, to Albert Brook’s latest, The Muse, those independents you may have missed the first time they were in theaters a few months ago are back one more time. The Limey: An aging Terrance Stamp stars in Steven Soderbergh’s latest.

As their lives clash, so do their cultures.Nov. 24 at 5:30p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 9:30 p.m. Tkulrddag Foreign Thursdays will be dedicated to looking back at some ofthe Brattle’s favorites from years past. From the ‘20s to the ‘90s these are films that hail from all comers of the globe. Rashomon: This saga hails from Japan during the Middle Ages and features the interhvining lives of a nobleman, a beautifid bride, and a handsome bandit. Legendary director Akira Kurosawa plays with the conflicting stories, the complexities ofperception, and the subjectivityoftruth to place the viewer in a virtual hurricane ofcontrary suggestions. What actually happens seems to take a backseat to the significance of how the tale is told. Fday and Satwday The weekend- saved for special engagements, reissues, and revivals of old films -is back by popular demand and always a fun time at the Brattle. There’s a special showing ofthe Polanksi great Chinatown,a special Christmas showing of Frank Capra’s classic It’sA Wonder-1Lye, and even the touching musical Documentary The Buena VistaSocial Club. But undoubtedly the most fun weekend will be the special Marx Brothers tribute. Duck Soup: This absurd tale about Rufus T. Firefly, the dictator ofthe imaginary land Freedonia, is the Marx brother’s funniest. Watch the crazy antics of Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo (Yes, there was a fourth brother!) as they attack the neighboring country Sylvania while singing the show stopping musical number “Going To War.”

The Brattle Theater is locatedat 40 Brattle Street in Hanardsquare, Cambridge. Ticketsare $7.00for most shows. Call (61 7) 876-6837for more information.
