A DANGEROUS
METHOD (R)
Sorry No Passes
The
cities of Zurich and Vienna on the eve of World War I are the
setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery.
Drawn from true-life events, A Dangerous Method takes a
glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling
psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender of Shame and
Jane Eyre), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen,
A History of Violence) and Sabina Spielrein (Keira
Knightley, Atonement), the troubled but beautiful young
woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross
(Vincent Cassel, Black Swan), a free-thinker who
encourages Jung to cross therapist-patient boundaries. This
exploration of sensuality, ambition and deceit sets the scene
for the pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come
together and split apart, forever changing the face of modern
thought. Screenplay by Christopher Hampton (Atonement,
Dangerous Liaisons), based on his play The Talking Cure.
Directed by David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, A History
of Violence).

THE
ARTIST (PG13)
Sorry No Passes


Hollywood 1927. Silent movie matinee idol George Valentin
(Jean Dujardin, the charismatic star of OSS 117: Cairo,
Nest of Spies) is enjoying the good life, although he
seems fonder of his faithful dog than of his trophy wife
(Penelope Ann Miller). He meets funny, sexy young extra Peppy
Miller (Bérénice Bejo), a dancer set for a big break, and
sparks fly. With the advent of the talkies George's career
nosedives, while Peppy's takes off. The Artist is the
charming and poignant story of their interlinked destinies—a
delightful valentine to the love of cinema, with a tip of the
hat to Singin' in the Rain and A Star Is Born.
Writer/director Michel Hazanavicius (who also directed the
OSS 117 films) daringly shot the film completely in the
style of a silent feature, in black and white and without
sound (with a few striking exceptions), filmed on location in
Hollywood, set to a wonderful original score by Ludovic Bource.
Winner of the Best Actor Award (Dujardin) at the 2011 Cannes
Film Festival. Co-starring John Goodman, Malcolm McDowell, and
James Cromwell.

THE IRON
LADY (PG13)


The
Iron Lady revisits recent history through the eyes of the
leader who shaped it—charting the compelling rise and fall of
trail-blazing politician Margaret Thatcher, the controversial
former Prime Minister of the UK and the first woman ever
elected as head of government in the West. Two-time Academy
Award-winning actress Meryl Streep brings Margaret Thatcher to
vivid life over a 40-year span, delivering a performance of
great authenticity and sensitivity. Combining fact, fiction
and poetic flights of imagination into a new breed of biopic,
director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) creates a piercing
portrait which reveals the many faces of Thatcher: the
hard-nosed conservative; the woman who demolished the barriers
of gender and class in a male-dominated world; the spirited
wife and mother who longed to change her country for the
better. Exposing the private life behind the headlines, The
Iron Lady is a moving journey into the heart of an
extraordinary, complex woman. Jim Broadbent co-stars.

TINKER, TAILOR,
SOLDIER, SPY (R)

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the long-awaited feature
film version of John le Carré's classic bestselling thriller.
The time is 1973. The Cold War of the mid-20th century
continues to threaten international relations. Britain's
Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), code-named the Circus, is
striving to keep pace with other countries' espionage efforts
and to keep the U.K. secure. The head of the Circus, known as
Control (John Hurt), personally sends dedicated operative Jim
Prideaux (Mark Strong) into Hungary. But Jim's mission goes
bloodily awry, and Control is forced out of the Circus—as is
his top lieutenant, George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a career spy
with razor-sharp senses. Estranged from his absent wife,
Smiley is soon called in to see Undersecretary Oliver Lacon
(Simon McBurney), who tells him that he is to be rehired in
secret. There is a gnawing fear that the Circus has long been
compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets,
jeopardizing England. Supported by younger agent Peter Guillam
(Benedict Cumberbatch), Smiley pores over Circus activities
past and present, trying to find the mole. Also starring Colin
Firth, Tom Hardy, Toby Jones, Kathy Burke and Ciarán Hinds.
Directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In).
