Just like Roma and Burning, Colombian feature Birds of Passage (Pájaros de verano)has been short-listed for the 2019 Best Foreign Language Feature Academy Award and it screens Monday, Jan. 7 at 7:00 p.m. only. The film follows the origins of the Colombian drug trade, as seen through eyes of an indigenous Wayuu family that becomes involved in the booming business of selling marijuana to American youth in the 1970s. When greed, passion and honor collide, a fratricidal war breaks out and puts their lives, culture and ancestral traditions at stake.

 

Not rated | Running time 2hr 5min | Drama | In Spanish with English subtitles

 

"A visually stunning and often surprising true story that charts the rise of the Colombian drug business back before Escobar from its unexpected roots, among an indigenous clan in way over their heads." — Variety

The Favourite continues to be one of your favorites, so it's held over again, through Thursday, Jan. 10. "Three of the best female performances I've ever seen. One of the most daring, immersive, and wild cinematic experiences ever. Best film of the year" — Actual guest review. More info and showtimes are below.

If Beale Street Could Talk, based on the James Baldwin novel, and directed by Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), starts Friday, January 18. Stay tuned for more info and showtimes

VOX LUX starts Friday, Jan. 04

In 1999, teenage Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) survives a violent tragedy. After singing at a memorial service, Celeste transforms into a burgeoning pop star with the help of her songwriter sister (Stacy Martin) and a talent manager (Jude Law). Celeste’s meteoric rise to fame and concurrent loss of innocence dovetails with a shattering terrorist attack on the nation, elevating the young powerhouse to a new kind of celebrity: American icon, secular deity, global superstar.

By 2017, adult Celeste (Natalie Portman) is mounting a comeback after a scandalous incident that derailed her career. Touring in support of her sixth album, a compendium of sci-fi anthems entitled “Vox Lux,” the indomitable, foul-mouthed pop savior must overcome her personal and familial struggles to navigate motherhood, madness and monolithic fame in the Age of Terror. (c) NEON

 

"Portman arrives in the film like a force of nature, tearing into her role with reckless abandon. [She's] so much fun to watch behaving badly that viewers may actually root for her to self-destruct; she is that entertaining." — Salon

The Favourite held over

Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When new servant Abigail Masham (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time-consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way. (c) Fox Searchlight

 

"Period authenticity clashes happily with occasional creative anachronisms to present audiences with a portrait of power as sobering as it is scabrously conniving."
