The first period, what I term the "founding" period of the road movie genre, includes six films of the 1960s and 1970s: Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969), Francis Ford Coppola's The Rain People (1969), Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), Richard Sarafian's Vanishing Point (1971), and Joseph Strick's Road Movie (1974).

Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity. -

amherstcinema FEB - APR 28 Amity St. Amherst, MA 01002 • www.amherstcinema.org • 413.253.2547 2020 See something different! In addition to the special events in this newsletter, Amherst Cinema shows current-release film on four screens every day. Visit amherstcinema.org and join our weekly e-newsletter for the latest offerings. films of Kelly Reichardt In anticipation of the March 2020 opening of her new movie, FIRST COW, Amherst Cinema is pleased to present four films from the back catalog of director Kelly Reichardt. Reichardt's dramas are small-scale symphonies; alchemical transmogrifications of the ordinary into gripping cinematic experiences. Often collaborating with the same creatives across multiple pictures, such as actor Michelle Williams and writer Jonathan Raymond, Reichardt's films turn the WENDY AND LUCY lens on those in some way at the margins of American communities. Be it a woman living out of her car in WENDY AND LUCY, a group of lost 1840s pioneers in MEEK'S CUTOFF, a reclusive ranch hand in CERTAIN WOMEN, or a hand-to-mouth ex-hippie in OLD JOY, Reichardt's characters, regardless of life circumstances, are deeply and richly human. There may be no other living filmmaker who so fully realizes Roger Ebert's assertion that "movies are the most powerful empathy machine in all the arts." All of which is to say nothing of her films' painterly cinematography, naturalistic and immersive sound design, and Reichardt's knack of scouting the perfect space for every scene, often in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Reichardt and her work have been honored at the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the BFI MEEK'S CUTOFF London Film Festival, the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and more. -

Night Moves Instrueret Og Skrevet Af Kelly Reichardt
ANGEL FILMS PRÆSENTERER Night Moves Instrueret og skrevet af Kelly Reichardt 112 minutter Kontakt:(Peter(Sølvsten(Thomsen,([email protected]( 1 Night Moves Dansk synopsis: En spændingsfyldt fortælling om de tre passionerede miljøaktivister, Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning) og Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), der sammen planlægger en bombeaktion mod en dæmning. Aktionen lykkes, men ikke uden uforudsete konsekvenser – konsekvenser som skal vise sig at blive skæbnesvanger for de tre aktivister. Josh, Dena og Harmon vender tilbage til deres hverdag i forsøget på at holde lav profil, men begynder hurtigt at mærke det psykiske pres af deres store hemmelighed. Efterhånden som paranoia og mistillid kryber ind i de sammensvornes hoveder, begynder idealismens skyggesider at vise sig. Gennem Kelly Reichardts særegne stil og atmosfære, stiller NIGHT MOVES skarpt på spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt terrorhandlinger kan retfærdiggøres, så længe bevæggrunden herfor er sympatisk, eller om al terror leder til umoralsk fanatisme? Kontakt:(Peter(Sølvsten(Thomsen,([email protected]( 2 NIGHT MOVES ABOUT THE STORY Kelly Reichardt’s suspense thriller NIGHT MOVES follows three passionate environmentalists whose homegrown plot to Blow up a controversial dam unravels into a journey of douBt, paranoia and unintended consequences.
