Is it possible for a photograph to change the world? Photographs taken by
soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison changed the war in Iraq and changed America's
image of itself. Yet, a central mystery remains: Did the notorious Abu Ghraib
photographs constitute evidence of systematic abuse by the American military,
or were they documenting the aberrant behavior of a few "bad apples"?
Director Errol Morris (The Fog of War) set out to examine the context
of these photographs, talking directly to the soldiers who took them and who
were in them. After two years of investigation, he amassed a million
and a half words of interview transcript, thousands of pages of unredacted
reports, and hundreds of photographs. The story of Abu Ghraib is still shrouded
in moral ambiguity, but it is now clear what happened there. Official

to find solace in the arms of the parent of one of her students (Colin Firth),
only to find that the mystery to life's questions cannot be solved by a simple
revelation. Adapted from Elinor Lipman's novel of the same name. Official

Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire
by a beautiful seductress named Irene (Audrey Tautou, Amélie).
When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that
a love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her get away. Jean's comical
attempts to gain her affections gradually evolve into setting himself up as
a gigolo at a luxury hotel, until Irene finally starts to warm to her persistent,
persuasive suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the south of
France, Pierre Salvadori (Après Vous) directs this sexy and
thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining of the
cinema classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. Official

| The longest-running midnight movie of all time stars Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing “transsexual from Transylvania” Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as his hapless guests Brad and Janet, Meat Loaf as motorcycle-riding rough trade and author Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff. It’s harmless musical fun—a delightful spoof of Hollywood horror movies and Old Dark House melodramas. All of our engagements feature live casts who perform scenes during the movie, and the audience is always welcome to respond to the on-screen action. The Rocky Horror Picture was the first—and is still the best—interactive movie experience! Official Web Site |
