THE ROAD
(R) Showing
January 15 - February 11
Viggo
Mortensen leads a stellar cast (including Charlize Theron,
Robert Duvall and Guy Pearce) in the epic, post-apocalyptic
tale of the survival of a father (Moretensen) and his young
son (newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee) as they journey across a
barren America that was destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm. A
masterpiece of adventure, The Road is adapted from
author Cormac McCarthy's (No Country for Old Men)
beloved, best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which
boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst
and the best that they are capable of—a future in which father
and son are sustained by love. Directed by John Hillcoat
(The Proposition).

THE LITTLE TRAITOR
(PG)
February 12 - February 18
Many
movies begin as a book. “The Little Traitor” was born of a
short novel, Panther in the Basement, by the brilliant Israeli
author Amos Oz. It is a lyrical story of a young boy growing
up in Jerusalem during the British Mandate, when Israel (then
still Palestine) lived under occupation. This boy, the son of
Holocaust survivors, shares the passionate longing of his
parents and Jews everywhere: for Israel to become its own
state. One day he is befriended by the warm and avuncular
British Sergeant Dunlop, and as their friendship evolves, the
boy finds himself caught between his hatred of “the
British”—whom he dreams of destroying—and his growing
affection for a member of the detested enemy.
