Director Nancy Buirski joined us on Sunday evening for a beautiful Q&A following her new documentary Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy<\/strong><\/em>. She’ll be back after Friday’s 6:30 pm screening, accompanied by Oscar-winning director John Schlesinger’s nephew Ian Buruma.<\/p>\n

Other Q&As this weekend include the tireless producer-director team of Heather Spore and Brian Vincent following the 5 pm Saturday show of their doc Make Me Famous<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0and our in-house experts Max Alvarez and Dan Cahill dissecting Douglas Sirk’s 1958 The Tarnished Angels<\/strong><\/em> (starring Rock Hudson, subject of a controversial new documentary, and the resplendent-in-white Dorothy Malone) after its Sunday, 12:15 presentation.<\/p>\n

Next month’s classics:\u00a0 60th Anniversary tributes to Fellini’s 8 1\/2<\/em> and Visconti’s The Leopard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And speaking of Italian cinema — joining this weekend our recent screenings of\u00a0L’Immensita<\/em> and Scarlet <\/em>is Amanda<\/em><\/strong>, a dark comedy from another young director to watch, Carolina Cavalli, spotlighted at last Fall’s Venice and Toronto film fests.\u00a0In her NY Times <\/em>‘Critic’s Pick’ review, Beatrice Loayza pronounced it\u00a0“a smart, stylish debut (that) plays like Lady Bird by way of Wes Anderson’s deadpan existentialism.”<\/p>\n

Recent university graduate Amanda is “terrified of socializing with people her own age. She claims to prefer hanging out in the family chateau…She would secretly kill for meaningful companionship — but first, she has to learn not to bite.”\u00a0 Check out the exuberantly contrarian trailer.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another addition this weekend, The Miracle Club<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0showcases three beloved actresses: Laura Linney, Kathy Bates, and Maggie Smith in “sublime performances,” per the Chicago Sun-Times’<\/em> Richard Roeper.\u00a0Set in 1967 Dublin, the film follows the trio on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, seeking to assuage a tangled web of tragedies and troubles.<\/p>\n

And after a terrific two-month run, Saturday’s matinee of Close to Vermeer <\/em><\/strong>will be our final screening.\u00a0 Coming soon, another look at the historic Rijksmuseum show — Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition<\/em>.<\/p>\n
