Heart

Scene opens.

 

Closeup of a head of long dark somewhat frizzy hair, fingers poking through and then moving down to cover a woman’s face.  Slowly her fingers curl up over her mouth and she opens her eyes in a blank stare.  You can tell she is trying to absorb some experience.  She suddenly inhales and closes her eyes as the breath releases.

 

Woman:  (Wistfully)   “It’s over.”

 

She looks downward and smiles weakly.

 

Woman: (Shaking her head) “I can’t believe… it’s over.”

 

Her hands slowly move down. ( closeup of hands.) They remove a wad of yellow ticket stubs from a plastic pouch hanging around her neck.  She studies them with  amazement.

 

Woman:  “I saw 23 in 8 days.”

 

Man' Voice:  "That's nothing. I saw 18 narratives, 14 documentaries and the shorts program twice! Come on… Let’s go.”

 

Woman:  “I met Michael Moore, honey. Jane Seymour passed me at the party at Hiro’s.  And…”   A pair of hands appears on her shoulders from the back and leads her forward.  She needs the steering.

 

Man: (Whispering in her ear) "For the next few months eating popcorn is not an option."

 

She turns around and kisses him, letting him lead her backwards as they laugh.

 

Camera zooms out upward to show an entire lobby filled with people saying goodnight and trudging out to their cars into the dark night just as a theater darkens before a new movie begins. 

 

The End

A Single Man    85% Fresh Tomato Rating.  This is a must see.  Thank you Harkins for bringing in this limited release film. (They are showing it at Camelview)

Consensus: Though the costumes are beautiful and the art direction impeccable, what stands out most from this debut by fashion designer Tom Ford is the leading performance by Colin Firth.

A FREE FILM FOR SIFF MEMBERS!

"We are so proud to be presenting Gina Davis' new film in celebration of our biggest film festival in our history," said Patrick Schweiss, film festival director. "It is our way of saying thank you to our members and this entire community for the support they've shown to our film festival this entire year. We are very grateful."

On warm summer evenings in suburban 1980s Connecticut, manicured lawns are maintained by spinning circles of water from churning sprinklers while distant urban rumbles are kept at bay by rings of concrete freeways. Yet out of nowhere -- or perhaps even from the house next door -- sudden danger and death can descend. Yes, accidents happen, and everything normal, familiar and friendly whiplashes out of control as if hit by a tornado. It is hard growing up under any circumstances, but it is especially difficult surviving in the Conway home, a household more prone to mishaps and calamities than just about any other on their block. Sometimes the Conways are able carry on to fight another day, but sometimes they aren't. ....  Click here for details on Accidents Happen

March 8     animated romantic comedy  82 minutes  2008
American film maker Nina Paley does it all: writing, animation, music selection and more. She juxtaposes the break up of her own marriage with a retelling of the ancient Hindu epic, Ramayana, focusing on Sita more than Rama. Along with Indian music, she includes the voice of 1920s American blues singer Annette Hanshaw. Three shadow puppets tell the story, each adding their own regional variation to this epic tale. A creative tour de force that won numerous awards!

March 15        fact-based drama           109 minutes        2008

This true-life drama tells the poignant tale of Los Angeles newspaper reporter Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.), who discovers brilliant street musician Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), and their unique friendship that transforms both their lives. In helping his new friend deal with his demons, Steve ends up battling with his own. Joe Wright directs this inspiring drama based on the bestselling book by the real Lopez.

 

March 22     French romantic comedy    97 minutes    2000
When wide-eyed Irène (Audrey Tautou), a horoscope-believing, hopeless romantic, exchanges glances with a young restaurateur on a train, it's love at first sight. But they'll continually intersect -- through dozens of other people's lives -- before they meet. French writer-director Laurent Firode's fanciful, "What if?" film co-stars Faudel, Eric Savin, Lysiane Meis, Eric Feldman and Nathalie Besançon.

March 29     Australian comedy     100 minutes      2003
Loopy Australian truck driver Danny (Rhys Ifans) hatches a novel way to escape his humdrum life after a fight with his girlfriend: He ties large helium-filled balloons to his deckchair then accidentally floats away into the sky. A violent thunderstorm sends him hurtling out over the Outback, landing him in a small town where no one knows him. Meanwhile, the news media is in a frenzy about Danny's fantastic disappearance.


 





 First time? Welcome to SedonaFILMLovers, a free guide to independent films in Sedona, Flagstaff, and Prescott.  If you believe you were accidentally sent this email, please reply and ask to be removed. We only list films that are defined as independent, foreign, or art films.  Sometimes the categories are blurred, but we do our best.  We can suggest to our local theaters which films we would like to have.  Procuring films, however, can be complex.  Theaters bid for movies, yet ultimately distributors have the final say as to where their limited prints are screened.  The longer a film has been showing, the easier it is to get it, but then, it may just be available at the video store, too.

This email service was born out of the need to educate our community about independent film in the area.  Without word of mouth or auxillary marketing, films without big advertising budgets don’t attract big audiences.  In cities of 100,000 or more, a few percent can still fill theaters.   Phoenix only has one theater dedicated to "indie" film.  NYC only has a few.  In rural towns, it is important that all of us turn out when a film comes to town.  We can help you know when and where that is.  The theaters win, and we win.  Please add your interested friends to this list. Thank you!

SedonaFilmLovers - An organization dedicated to bringing quality art, foreign, independent, and limited release films to N. Arizona movie theaters and building awareness for quality cinema. We notify our members of scheduled films via email.
