THE
VISITOR (PG13)
Having lost his passion for teaching and writing, 62-year-old
Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins) fills the void by trying to
learn to play classical piano. Sent to Manhattan to attend a
conference, Walter is surprised to find a young couple has
taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real estate
scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian man, and Zainab (Danai
Gurira), his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go.
In the first of a series of tests of the heart, Walter
reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him. Touched by his
kindness, the talented Tarek insists on teaching the aging
academic to play the African drum. The instrument's exuberant
rhythms revitalize Walter's faltering spirit and open his eyes
to a vibrant world of local jazz clubs and Central Park drum
circles. When Tarek is arrested as an undocumented citizen and
held for deportation, Walter finds himself compelled to help
his new friend with a passion he thought he had long ago lost.
Written and directed by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent).

YOUNG @ HEART (PG)
Young@Heart is a New England senior citizens chorus that has
delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by
everyone from The Clash to Coldplay. Based in Northampton,
Massachusetts, the group is made up of two dozen spirited
seniors who specialize in reinterpreting rock, punk and R & B
classics from a unique perspective. Their lineup includes former
schoolteachers, executives, doctors and food service workers,
and the chorus is guided by their longtime director Bob Cilman.
With less than two months to go until a one night only concert
in their hometown, the performers struggle with the new lyrics
and unfamiliar melodies of seven new songs. During their thrice
weekly rehearsals, they gradually take possession of music
ranging from R&B classics like Allen Toussaint’s “Yes We Can
Can” to Coldplay’s emotionally powerful ballad “Fix You,”
upending assumptions about old age, love, sex and death.
