Renowned director, screenwriter, and actor John Huston added two more Oscar nominations to his previous thirteen with his final film, The Dead. An adaptation of a short story by James Joyce, The Dead is a comedy-drama starring Anjelica Huston (John's daughter), as Gretta Conroy, alongside Donal McCann as her husband, Gabriel Conroy, in Dublin in 1904. Attending an Epiphany party, the two have epiphanies of their own, as Gretta reveals memories of a dead lover from her youth. John Huston directed The Dead from a wheelchair, and the film was released posthumously in a final and poignant contemplation of life and love.

There he meets Mahi (Minissha Lamba), a young Indian woman who is seeking her own "Raj" (the romantic idol of the classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, who happens to share a name). But this Raj is not a romantic hero and moves on, breaking Mahi's heart. Later, in Mumbai, Raj has a live-in girlfriend Radhika (Bipasha Basu). When he is offered the opportunity to move to Australia, he believes Radhika will have no problem parting ways—but instead, she plans their wedding. In Sydney, Raj romances likeminded Gayatri (Deepika Padukone), but what he learns from her leads him back to the women whose hearts he broke years before.

2019-01-25 19:30 - 21:37 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen La douleur (Memoir of War, Emmanuel Finkiel, France 2017, 127 min., DCP, French w/subtitles).
In this haunting adaptation of Marguerite Duras's semi-autobiographical novel, The War: A Memoir, the famed author (played by Mélanie Thierry) recounts an emotionally complex story of love, loss, and perseverance against a backdrop of wartime intrigue. In 1944 Nazi-occupied France, Duras is an active Resistance member along with her husband Robert Antelme and a band of fellow subversives. When Altelme is deported to Dachau by the Gestapo, Duras becomes friendly with French Nazi collaborator Rabier to learn of her husband's whereabouts. But as the months wear on with no news of her husband, Duras must begin the process of confronting the unimaginable. Using subtly expressionistic imagery and voiceover passages of Duras's writing, Finkiel evokes the inner world of one of the twentieth century's most revolutionary writers.

Nod, Ian Downey is Famous, The Vores musical performances
2019-01-25 20:00 - 22:00 | Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St., Buffalo, New York, 14203, United States
Since they first began playing together in a Rochester, NY, basement in the spring in 1990, Nod has been churning out off-beat funk/punk rock with an undercurrent of Velvets noise and chaos. Members Joe Sorriero (guitar, vocals), Tim Poland (bass), and Brian Shafer (drums), have shown an alternate-tuning free/out groove craziness on a series of 8 self-produced albums (and a smattering of other releases in various forms) spanning nearly three decades, including a bunch of releases on Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley's Smells Like Records. The Nod guys also did some time in legendary noise/weird jazz combos Coffee and Arthur Doyle Electro-Acoustic Ensemble. Nod's latest release on Carbon, So Much Tonight, echoes early Talking Heads, and (though Nod predates them) Pavement. Call it omnipunk. While references and comparisons to other acts abound, their style never sits still long enough to be pinned down.

The Little will screen Shine (Scott Hicks, Australia 1996, 106 min.) followed by a discussion hosted by Julia Figueras as part of the Classical 91.5 Presents series.
Shine is a 1996 film based on the true story of an Australian pianist, David Helfgott, who was an international prodigy, suffered a breakdown and has gradually been able to piece himself back together. As a child piano prodigy, David Helfgott's (Geoffrey Rush) musical ambitions generate friction with his overbearing father, Peter (Armin Mueller-Stahl). When Helfgott travels to London on a musical scholarship, his career as a pianist blossoms. However, the pressures of his newfound fame, coupled with the echoes of his tumultuous childhood, conspire to bring Helfgott's latent schizophrenia boiling to the surface, and he spends years in and out of various mental institutions.

2019-01-26 19:30 - 21:21 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Reversal of Fortune (Barbet Schroeder, U.S. 1990, 111 min., 35mm) as part of the Glenn Close series.
Narrating the film from her comatose state, Sunny von Bülow (Glenn Close) tells the story of her husband, Claus (Jeremy Irons), their unhappy marriage, and her hypoglycemic condition. After Sunny falls into a coma twice within a year, Claus is convicted for attempted murder, since he stands to inherit $14 million from his wife. He seeks out Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) to handle his appeal. Dershowitz, believing him guilty, charges him a large amount of money, which would allow him to defend two youths in a separate case. As he becomes more involved with the von Bülow case, however, Dershowitz sees that things are not as clear-cut as he had imagined, and he must wrestle with his own conscience and morality. Based on Dershowitz's own memoir, this film garnered Academy Award nominations for Best Actor (Irons), Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Brindamor musical performance
2019-01-26 20:30 - 22:30 | Spirit Room, 139 State St., Rochester, New York, 14614, United States
Without pretense, Rochester's Brindamor adds an extra dash of lonely to its overall, countrified folk strain. With a fleeting listen you can plainly hear the roots and beyond. Whether the band's giving it a casual 2/4 giddy-up or slowing it down to waltz, there's more going on beneath the surface. It's the kind of controlled elegance heard from cats like Joe Henry, or anyone with a story to tell.
