The British drama Scrapper<\/em><\/strong> joins New Plaza Cinema’s first run film lineup this weekend. Winner of the\u00a0World Cinema Dramatic Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival,\u00a0Scrapper<\/em><\/strong> recalls the\u00a0late 50s to early 60s UK golden age of “kitchen sink realism”\u00a0cinema — films like A Taste of Honey,\u00a0Saturday NIght, and Sunday Morning<\/em> and Whistle Down the Wind<\/em>.<\/p>\n In her recent NY Times<\/em> Critic’s Pick review, Claire Shaffer writes, “Director Charlotte Regan’s feature debut is as whip-smart as the 12-year-old girl at its center. Georgie (played wonderfully by newcomer Lola Campbell), lives alone in her apartment in London following the death of her mother…’Scrapper’ is tender without falling into sappiness.\u00a0Regan doesn’t romanticize Georgie’s struggles with poverty, grief and bullying, which are accompanied by a gritty sense of humor.\u00a0 At the same time, the film’s vivid cinematography fills the screen with symmetry and pastel colors..<\/em>..”<\/p>\n On Sunday afternoon we’ll be screening Joan Micklin Silver’s\u00a01988 romantic comedy Crossing Delancey,<\/em><\/strong> followed by a Q&A with our very special guest, its star Peter Riegert.\u00a0At press time tickets were sold out. We will have a standby line at showtime.<\/p>\n
