The letter, from Switzerland, lets him know that a body has been found: that of Katya, his girlfriend before Kate, who died falling into a fissure in a glacier when the couple were on a walking holiday in 1962. Geoff tells Kate that he was regarded as Katya’s next-of-kin, since they had been pretending to be married. Though Kate continues to prepare for the party, and the couple shares some romantic excitement about it, she becomes increasingly disturbed by Geoff’s preoccupation with Katya. Geoff begins smoking again; reminisces at length about his carefree time with his previous love; seeks out photographs of her in the attic; and complains bitterly about the way his contemporaries and excolleagues have aged. Under Kate’s questioning, he states that he would have married Katya had she lived. While Geoff is at a work lunch, Kate searches the attic and finds slides of Katya, which reveal that she was pregnant at the time of her death. As the celebrations grow closer, they delve further into their past, leaving their future in question.

Symbol of Russia, a national treasure – mystical and intriguing. Recently, however, the theatre has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons: intrigue, personal attacks and management changes have created lurid headlines. Now, for the first time, the theatre directors are allowing a film crew access backstage. They see the coming months as a new chapter, and are ready to allow the 2013 -14 season to be recorded as a unique cinematic experience. From the two-time Academy Award- winning Producer of MAN ON WIRE and SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN, BOLSHOI BABYLON will give a voice to artistes and company members who are not usually in the limelight in irreverent and candid terms. Combining epic themes with intimate portraits, historical dramas will be counterpointed with the untold personal stories of agony and ecstasy that lie behind every acclaimed performance. With unparalleled behind the scenes access, the film will pay tribute to the dancers’ extraordinary artistic and athletic talents, their abiding fear of injury and the ruthless ambition needed to survive in the world’s most famous ballet company.

So when a kindly priest, Father Flood, sponsors her to go to America, she packs her meagre belongings, says goodbye to her mother and her sister, Rose, and hello to... Brooklyn, which with its bright lights, brownstones and brash confidence is a shock for timid Eilis. Seasickness from the treacherous journey to Ellis Island transforms into homesickness as she gets to Mrs. Kehoe's daunting lodging house, full of gossiping single girls. Eilis gets a job at a glamorous department store and through a sweet young plumber called Tony she has all kinds of new experiences: the Yankees, Coney Island, proper spaghetti sauce…and love. A tragedy in the family forces her to return to Ireland, but she marries Tony in secret before she goes. Once home, everyone is struck by Eilis’ 'new world' sophistication. She finds comfort in the company of her old friends, and one new one: a young charmer called Jim, who encouraged by Eilis' mother, starts to woo her. Before long, Eilis must confront a terrible dilemma -- a heart-breaking choice between two men and two countries; between duty and true love.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fans get backstage pass to Arcade Fire with The Reflektor Tapes in Cineplex Theatres Cineplex’s Music at the Movies series continues with Arcade Fire, Roger Waters docs, and live performances from Eric Clapton and The Who. TORONTO, ON – August 27, 2015 – Canadian indie-rock legends Arcade Fire are playing at a Cineplex theatre near you when the all-access documentary The Reflektor Tapes hits the big screen on September 23, 2015, after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. In support of Reflektor, Arcade Fire’s acclaimed fourth album, the Grammy-winning Canadian band toured the globe, selling out stadiums and headlining major music festivals including Coachella and Glastonbury. Now, fans can experience first-hand what it’s like to go on tour with the band. The Reflektor Tapes takes audiences into the hearts and minds of Arcade Fire, one of today’s most renowned and influential bands. From Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning director Kahlil Joseph (Until The Quiet Comes), the film charts the band’s creative journey from Jamaica, where they laid the foundation for their Reflektor album, to arena shows in Los Angeles and London via an impromptu performance in a Haitian hotel. “Arcade Fire is one of today’s most respected and critically-acclaimed rock bands, making The Reflektor Tapes a great addition to our Music at the Movies series,” said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. “We’re proud to present Canadian movie-goers with the opportunity to see this documentary about such a well-loved homegrown band.” The Reflektor Tapes will screen as part of Cineplex Front Row Centre Events on September 23, 2015, with a second showing in Cineplex theatres on September 28, 2015.

  • Dear Movie-Goers
    March 16, 2021 Dear movie-goers, Given the current availability of a wide spectrum of Werner Herzog's films (free) on Prime, I thought I would go ahead and assign Even Dwarfs Started Small (Herzog, 1970), which may be the strangest of all his films -- an allegory about political upheaval and anarchy within a group of captive little people. And then dipping back into the past with Tod Browning's (1932) Freaks, for which he was given almost complete artistic control by Universal after the popular success of his previous hit Dracula (1931). It was the first film ever to feature a cast of carnies, who were friends of Browning. His intent was to make a film depicting them as real people with feelings; though the end result may seem less than satisfying because it coopted them into a horror story of revenge. Freaks is a fictional story with the traditional narrative arc of a "horror" film; its original 90-minute running time was cut down to 60-minutes by the studio, before the film became banned from public performance. Even Dwarfs Started Small is a non-genre fictional story revealing a social order reduced to chaos. Both feature ensemble casts of "little people" and other carnival performers, with both directors caring very much about their cast, while Browning's is the more sympathetic view and Herzog's the more irreverent. (Though in the case of Herzog's film, one could argue that his use of a strikingly unusual cast of characters enabled mainstream audiences to see the socio-political disharmony effectively "over there" in "the others", only later to realize that the film was really allegorical in its intent.) You can view these in either order, but the intent will be to use them for inter-textual reference to discuss together as films made by iconoclastic filmmakers with unconventional casts.
