Joining our lineup this weekend will be an ambitious new animated drama from Hugh and DK Welchman, whose\u00a0Loving Vincent<\/em>\u00a0was also an Oscar-nominee (and commercial hit) several\u00a0years ago.\u00a0The Peasants\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is based on an epic Polish novel by\u00a0Wladyslaw Stanislaw Reymont. One of Reymont’s other works was the\u00a0source for Andrezj Wajda’s 1975 classic film\u00a0The Promised Land<\/em>. Its protagonist is a young woman whose determination to forge her own path within the confines of a late 19th century Polish village puts her on a collision course with the tradition-bound community.\u00a0Indiewire<\/em>\u00a0critic Christian Blauvelt wrote:\u00a0
“Bringing this thousand-page novel to animated life in this way isn\u2019t just an adaptation, it\u2019s an illumination. It makes real the heightened reality that exists in your mind when reading a particularly captivating book.”<\/em>
Also debuting at New Plaza Cinema this week will be the documentary
Pasang: In the Shadow of Everest<\/strong><\/em>. Producer\/director Lisa Hurwitz (The Automat<\/em>) will host this portrait of Pasang Lharmu Sherpa, the first Nepali woman to summit Mount Everest. There’ll be a Q&A after both Saturday’s show and at
a reprise next Sunday.\u00a0 \u00a0
Ingmar Bergman’s classic\u00a0The Seventh Seal\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will cap off our “Bergman Classics Month” on Sunday afternoon — tickets have\u00a0been selling fast for that one. And two recent French films,\u00a0Driving Madeleine<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0with Line Renaud and Dany Boon, and Francois Ozon’s\u00a0The Crime Is Mine\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>starring Isabelle Huppert and Fabrice Luchini, will be back for single screenings.\u00a0\u00a0
