Whew! And to say nothing of our upcoming special events. Therefor, The Commentary:
SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE, contrary to its title, is actually about one HUGE THING. That being, an oppressive, bullying and hypocritical institution, and one man’s reconciliation with his past. If you saw CONCLAVE you know of whom I speak. No spoilers here. Cillian Murphy is his usual brilliant self surrounded by a supporting cast damaged, conflicted and fearful of their fervernt faith in the omnipotent church. It is Ireland in 1958 after all. Adapted from the award-winning novella by Claire Keegan.
BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB. A passionate labor of love from legendary filmmaker Wim Wenders and producer/guitarist Ry Cooder. Chronicles the rich and diverse music scene in Cuba, which was, prior to this production, in critical danger of extinction at the hands of Fidel Castro. A group of legendary Cuban musicians, some as old as their nineties, were brought together by Ry Cooder to record a CD. In this film, we see and hear some of the songs being recorded in Havana. There is also footage from concerts in Amsterdam and New York City's Carnegie Hall. In addition, many of the individual musicians talk about their lives in Cuba and about how they got started in music. Nominated for Best Documentary Editing in 2000. This is Silver Anniversary.
* AND… to complete the Diner and a Movie package, next door at Miguelito’s, Miguel will launch two new themed dishes in concert with the films pair of screenings, a tantalizing RIBEYE RANCHERO and a traditional PAELLA VALENCIA. They will also stay open for this super supper special after the nightcap screening on Friday.
A REAL PAIN. Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. Funny, at times hysterical, poignant and powerful, A REAL PAIN, is the perfect Holiday film to pick up and perk your spirits.
Another huge round of applause for everyone who visited with us Sunday afternoon to experience the Erich Cannon produced epic outdoor documentary, THE COLUMBIA RIVER CANOE PROJECT. Writer/director/river pilot ROBERT LESTER was with us (albeit late as a result of a miscommunication on my part necessitating him to run from the ferry terminal to the HLT, and hence miss the intro - but making it in time for the most lively Q & A). Please give this one a look when it comes to your streaming service early in 2025.
We have specials lined up and roaring to go. CARRIE CLARK’S HOLIDAY HOOTENANY on Dec 21 and the GOSPEL CHIOR ALUMNI CONCERT on Dec 23. Tickets for both available here. Where O Where is that Little Drummer Boy?
All for today folks, hope to see you soon at the HLT.
