PRIDE FILMS AND PLAYS EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS PAY DISCOUNTED ADMISSION TO ANY SCREENING WEEKEND 2011, Andrew Haigh, UK, 97 min., with Tom Cullen, Chris New, 35mm
"A smart, sensitive, perceptive film."--Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"One of the most satisfying love stories you are likely to see on screen this year."--A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The break-out discovery of this year's SXSW Film Festival, this low-budget gem is rich in character and emotion.
Russell (Cullen), an emotionally guarded Nottingham lifeguard, picks up the outspoken artist Glen (New) at a gay bar. The next morning, Glen asks Russell to describe the previous night's activities into a tape recorder, and the resulting dance of concealment and revelation deepens their relationship to something more than a one-night stand, until an unforeseen deadline poses the question of "How much more?" with greater urgency.
Compared by critics to BRIEF ENCOUNTER, MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S, and BEFORE SUNRISE, this insightful romance explores questions of identity and commitment that touch us all, gay or straight, in or out of love. - Friday (12/23) at 8:15 pm;
- Tuesday (12/27) at 8:00 pm;
- Wednesday (12/28) at 8:00 pm;
- Thursday (12/29) at 8:00 pm
Tickets: $11/general admission, $7/students (with current I.D.), $6/Film Center members.
Pride Films and Plays email subscribers pay $7 to any screening with the code "PRIDE," available in-person only at the Film Center box office.
