We have a ‘packed’ Memorial Day weekend on tap at New Plaza Cinema: three new\u00a0independent films, two classics, a trio of the best in\u00a0recent European cinema and by popular demand, a reprise of our most\u00a0popular film to date. That, of course, would be Bill Nighy<\/strong> in Living<\/strong><\/em> which, despite its\u00a0four-month run here a number of our\u00a0loyal patrons somehow missed, and have asked us for a return\u00a0engagement. Voila.<\/em><\/p>\n The three new indie releases include:<\/p>\n —MONICA<\/strong><\/em>, in which a long- estranged mother (Patricia Clarkson) and\u00a0her transgender daughter (Trace Lysette) rekindle their relationship\u00a0in surprising, piercing fashion.\u00a0In her NY Times ‘Critic’s Pick’\u00a0review Teo Bugbee writes, “the director Andrea Pallaoro doesn’t\u00a0burden this delicate tale of reconciliation with long monologues or\u00a0extensive back stories, and the performances are compelling in their restraint. Both Lysette and Clarkson are naturally magnetic actors,\u00a0and they don’t waste the attention they’re given on excess\u00a0sentimentality.”<\/p>\n Patricia Clarkson will make special guest appearances at\u00a0this weekend’s screenings of Monica<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n —CLOSE TO VERMEER<\/strong><\/em>, a new documentary on which we’re pleased to join\u00a0the NY Premiere, going behind the scenes of the largest Vermeer\u00a0exhibition ever mounted, now on view at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. \u00a0Among the topics covered are the latest techniques for determining\u00a0what makes a Vermeer truly a Vermeer, to new discoveries while\u00a0searching the globe for the master’s paintings.<\/p>\n —FILMMAKERS FOR THE PROSECUTION<\/strong><\/em>, adapted from a monograph by\u00a0filmmaker (and longtime NPC booster) Sandra Schulberg, this new doc\u00a0retraces the hunt by brothers Stuart and Budd (On the Waterfront)\u00a0Schulberg for film evidence used to convict the Nazis at the first\u00a0Nuremberg trial. \u00a0Seventy five years later, never-before-seen footage\u00a0and revealing interviews unravel why the resulting film about the trial was suppressed by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n \u201cAn alternately thrilling and chastening portrait of accountability in\u00a0action\u2026The brothers received their orders from none other than John\u00a0Ford, then head of the OSS field photographic unit\u2026\u201d \u00a0– Justin Chang,\u00a0Los Angeles Times<\/em> And returning this weekend for encore screenings, Eric Rohmer’s\u00a0sublime My Night at Maud’s,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Bertolucci’s The Conformist<\/strong><\/em> (including\u00a0our special New Plaza-produced interview with cinematographer Vittorio\u00a0Storaro), and recent Euro-cinema highlights The Eight Mountains<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0Other People’s Children<\/strong><\/em> and Penelope Cruz in L’Immensita<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n See you as the lights go down…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 We have a ‘packed’ Memorial Day weekend on tap at New Plaza Cinema: three new\u00a0independent films, two classics, a trio of the best in\u00a0recent European cinema and by popular demand, a reprise of our most\u00a0popular film to date.
