A Secret, October 3 - 9
Adapted from Philippe Grimbert`s celebrated novel, Memory, the critically acclaimed movie A Secret follows the saga of a Jewish family in post-World War II Paris. François, an imaginative child, invents for himself a brother as well as the story of his parents`past. But on his fifteenth birthday, he discovers a family secret that shatters his illusions forever.
Unrated, French with English subtitles, 1 hour and 50 minutes.
What is most impressive about A Secret is the way Mr. Miller artfully and gently gestures toward such enormous themes without spelling them out.
A. O. Scott, New York Times
Claude Miller’s ravishingly shot drama gives up its titular mystery early, but there’s plenty of cinematic intrigue well after what’s covert in this complicated family story becomes overt.
Bob Mondello, NPR
A Secret is one of the finest…of a steady stream of splendid films illuminating the myriad aspects of the Holocaust.

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, Oct. 10 - 16
For folks who like the spy action of a James Bond movie shaken with a bit of humor, this French hit promises to be a tasty cocktail. Like Bond, OSS 117 (a popular French character who has appeared in hundreds of books) approaches state secrets and seduction with equal seriousness.
Unrated, French with subtitles, 1hour and 39 minutes.
Movie Times:
Friday and Saturday, 4:30 and 7PM
Sunday through Wednesday 4:30
Thursday, 4:30 and 7PM
The French-made movie travels familiar ground, with a nod as well to Airplane!, Top Secret and that whole genre. Even compared to them, it pushes things just a little — not too far, but toward the loony.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Given that this is a French film, there’s an unmistakable edge to its satirical portrayal of postwar East-West relations.
Andrew O’Hehir, Salon
Dujardin nails his character, who is deeply dense but always seems to draw the winning card, mainly through dumb luck. And Hazanavicius clearly knows the ’60s-era Bond films, which are full of ripe targets that he lovingly demolishes.
Walter V. Addeigo, San Francisco Chronicle

Mister Foe, October 17 -23
Carefully balanced between the dark and the dreamy, Mister Foe is a charged coming-of-age story with whimsy and bite. Hallam Foe, a troubled young man is driven to expose the true cause of his mother’s death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city of Edinburgh for love. This film has won a number of awards.
Rated R, 1 hour 35 minutes, Some hefty Scottish accents
Tip-top performances, led by young British thesp Jamie Bell, and a deftly handled tone reflecting all the title teen’s confused emotions make Hallam Foe a viewing delight.
Derel Elley, Variety
A dark, often funny Oedipal and erotic tale from Young Adam director David Mackenzie, Mister Foe benefits from the emotionally and physically agile performance of Bell.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
What makes Mister Foe such unlikely fun is Bell’s accomplished smart-ass routine and Mackenzie’s blithe attitude toward taboos.
