The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Généalogies d'un crime (Genealogies of a Crime) starting at 8 p.m. Here's what the Eastman House calendar has to say about it: "Catherine Deneuve plays a dual role in this twisting psychological crime drama. Prolific director Raoul Ruiz' mindbending look at the progression of a murderer examines the life of Rene, a boy raised by his psychoanalyst aunt (Deneuve) to believe that he is a born killer. When the grown Rene (Melvil Poupard) is accused of murdering his aunt, his lawyer (Deneuve again), investigating the circumstances leading to the crime, finds herself drawn into Rene's world."
