The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Üç maymun (Three Monkeys) starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 7 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "the latest from [Nuri Bilge Ceylan], Turkey's pre-eminent filmmaker (Climates, Distant) is a tense suspense piece involving family dysfunction, marital infidelity, and a political cover-up. When a wealthy politician causes a hit-and-run accident, he persuades his driver to take the fall and go to prison. While away, the driver's wife's indiscretions become a heavy burden for the couple's brooding teenaged son, who keeps the secrets from his father. From the opening through its riveting finale, Three Monkeys is a beautifully photographed psychological drama."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Le combat dan's l'île (Fire and Ice) starting at 8 p.m. and again tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. Copying right from the Eastman House calendar, "in one of the forgotten treasures of the French nouvelle vague, the great Jean-Louis Trintingant stars as the wealthy son of an industrialist whose hidden identity is as a militant assassin for an underground right-wing army. When the crypto-fascist's wife (Romy Schneider) begins to suspect something is awry, she also finds herself drawn to her husband's liberal, and also oblivious, friend (Henri Serre, Jim from Jules et Jim)."
