Greetings, A brilliant ensemble cast of British & Irish actors strike just the right balance in a new turn on the work of a literary master, opening this Friday, September 3 exclusively at the Tivoli. The New York Times Critics' Pick THE DUEL breathes new life into a classic Chekhovian tale. Working with the master cinematographer Paul Sarossy (The Sweet Hereafter), director Dover Kosashvili (Late Marriage) has made a gorgeously cinematic and accessible movie that is sensuous, passionate, dramatic and peppered with delightful moments of levity inherent to the great novella. Set in a seaside resort in the Caucasus, the story centers on n'er do well, Laevsky and his illicit relationship with his mistress, Nadya. Laevsky has convinced Nadya to leave her husband for him, but now wants to abandon her. "Adultery, betrayal, blackbail, drunken antics...the most successful literary adaptation I've seen since...Lady Chatterley. - (The Village Voice) The performances are excellent all around. This holiday weekend brings you another chance to see the highly rated espionage thriller FAREWELL. Click here to read its 3-1/2 star review from the KC Star. Also continuing are long-running favorites, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE and WINTER'S BONE. Our Silent Film Series with UMKC continues with Charlie Chaplin in CITY LIGHTS. This romantic comedy in pantomime is considered his greatest film. Can the Little Tramp win the heart of the flower girl? See this delightfully touching gem Thursday, September 9 at 6:30pm. All seats $4.00. Free for UMKC Students/Staff with ID. Until next week, thanks as always for your support. |
