Hello Film Lovers!
Despite the fact that many of us are in Toronto at the Film Festival this week, Chlotrudis Monday Night at the Movies goes on! I let Bob select this week’s film because he has been such a stalwart, rarely missing a Monday night film. If you’re in town, please consider joining him at the Kendall Square Theatre for the 7:15 p.m. screening of NICOTINA. This Spanish caper features Y TU MAM’TAMBI’‘S Diego Luna in a stylish caper comedy. Check out the synopsis below:
NICOTINA
Director Hugo Rodr’ez’s stylish caper comedy stars Diego Luna (Y TU MAM’TAMBI’) and takes place in Mexico City in real time, between 9:17pm and 10:50pm. From the first minute, we are on a wild ride where ordinary people and criminals alike are swept into a sea of circumstances during the pursuit of twenty missing diamonds. When the haze finally clears, computers have been hacked, people have been whacked and lives have gone up in a cloud of smoke. Winner of 6 Ariel Awards (Mexico’s Oscars), including acting honors for co-stars Rosa Mar’Bianchi, Rafael Incl’and Daniel Gim’z Cacho. (Fully subtitled)
CAST: Marta Belaustegui, Rosa Mar’Bianchi, Lucas Crespi, Daniel Gim’z Cacho, Rafael Incl’ Enoc Lea’Diego Luna, Carmen Madrid, Jes’hoa
You may want to take the opportunity to do some Film Festival screenings yourselves! Okay, so you’re not in Toronto, the Boston Film Festival kicks off on Friday, September 10, and despite it’s poor reputation, it actually has some interesting films in its roster. In addition to honoring Annette Bening (so good in THE GRIFTERS and VALMONT), some of the film’s screening include PRIMER, the surprise, low-budget hit of Sundance; BEING JULIA, starring the afore-mentioned Bening; Stephen Fry’s BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS; THE WOODSMAN, starring Peg’s new crush, Kevin Bacon; and many more. Still, next year, think about coming to Toronto, okay?
Unfortunately, due to Toronto, I will not be home until late next Thursday night, so next week’s announcement will most likely be sent out on Friday evening. Sorry in advance for the late notice! I do hope some of you took advantage of the special free screening of WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW!? I’m very curious to hear how it was! And check out the many new reviews of current films out at the theatres! Chlotrudis members have been busily seeing films, so find out what you’re missing and go see a movie!
See you at the movies!
