ANTWONE FISHER
Directed by Denzel Washington
Rated PG-13 for violence, language, mature thematic material involving
child abuse. 120 min. <http://www.foxsearchlight.com>
When ANTWONE FISHER played for the final time at the Toronto International
Film Festival, the audience gave it a long standing ovation, even though
its star and director, Denzel Washington had left town the night
before. People wanted to vent their joy an relief that Mr. Fisher (played
by Derek Luke), whose youthful experiences are the basis for the movie, had
triumphed over more adversity than any one person should have to.
Mr. Fisher, who is 43, is a Capraesque figure: he started writing the
script for the movie while working as a security guard at Sony Pictures and
is now a full-time screenwriter. But his childhood was beyond Dickensian.
One of the most affecting things in "Finding Fish," Mr. Fisher's 2001
autobiography, is the way that the young Antwone repeatedly uses the
smallest acts of kindness that come his way to carry him over an ocean of
pain. Still, by the time Mr. Fisher was in his 20's and a petty officer in
the Navy, his explosive temper threatened to wreck his life. The movie
dramatizes his struggle, with the help of a Navy psychiatrist (played by
Mr. Washington), to address the wounds of his past.
ANTWONE FISHER is what the movie industry calls an "inspirational." But
unlike most examples of that sorry saccharine genre, it has the
discomfiting specificity of truth. Mr. Fisher's oppressors are black and
mainly women. And the psychiatrist, who radiates sophistication and
civility and has Role Model written all over him, proves to be as immured
in his own self-regard as Antwone is in his rage: their liberation is
mutual and hard won. Maybe one reason audiences applaud this movie is for
raising their spirits without insulting their intelligence. (Excerpted
from THE NEW YORK TIMES)
"You'd have to be a stone not to be moved by ANTWONE FISHER'S story of
hope, forgiveness and love...seeing an actor of his stature so capably
mentoring a younger generation is yet another thing that makes ANTWONE
FISHER so satisfying an so against the odds."-LOS ANGELES TIMES

AMANDLA! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony
Directed by Lee Hirsch
Rated PG-13 for some images of violence and language. 103 min.
Lee Hirsch's AMANDLA! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony is a great
documentary that makes your heart leap with
joy. A musical and political record of more than a half-century of South
African history, it's the story of a relatively peaceful revolution wrought
against all the weapons of the state by suffering, mass protest and
music. And it's told with such sadness and exaltation, such mastery of
image and sound, that watching it makes you feel renewed and hopeful.
In a world often drenched in bloodshed and hatred, AMANDLA! makes the
point, irresistibly, that love and music can be as all-conquering in
certain battles as fear and weaponry, that ideals can win a nation as much
as bombs. That may seem a dubious, simplistic point, but AMANDLA! drives
it home with ecstatic whoops of rhythm and melody. Like Michael Moore's
BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, it's an intensely political documentary that
entertains as much as it instructs, drenching the audience in a colorful
torrent of historical images and infectious freedom song: the music of
artists like Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim and Vuyisile
Mini that acted as the soul and anthems of a nation torn apart.
South Africa may have different problems or tragedies today, but the music,
for all those magical beats, still carries us away. We see and hear scenes
of riot and death, hope and worship, and , at the end, in a concert scene
that sums up the film's unquenchable spirit, we watch Nelson Mandela,
wreathed in an impish smile, gently boogie to the song Masekela wrote for
him, while thousands dance and cheer. At that moment and many others,
AMANDLA! soars. (Excerpted from the CHICAGO TRIBUNE)
"When this movie sings, it's bliss"-TIME OUT NEW YORK. "Thrilling...so
beautiful and so powerful...it's fantastic music"-Ebert & Roeper

TALK TO HER
Directed by Pedro Almodovar
Rated R for nudity, language, sexual content (extremely adult subject
matter and surreal sexually explicit moments) 112 min.
An Academy Award-winner for Best Original Screenplay, TALK TO HER is about
interwoven varieties of intimacy - filial, romantic, erotic, professional,
tutorial - and the many ways to express love. (Following in the glories of
his 1999 Oscar winner, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, the director known as a
specialist in actress-heavy dramas reveals a compassionate understanding of
the camaraderie of men.) but as with all of Almodovar's most exciting
work, TALK TO HER is also about intimacy with the movies as the filmmaker's
deepest source of inspiration and replenishment. Spellbound by the
cinema's unique abilities to loop and layer narrative and to convey
feelings with color, light, movement, time-shifting, and even silence, the
director uses those materials here with exuberant adoration and
maturity. Pleasure deepens with subsequent viewings.
In one memorable - sure to be talked about sequence - Almodovar sends one
of his characters to the movies to watch a black-and-white silent movie
called SHRINKING LOVER. Like everything else in this superb work of art,
SHRINKING LOVER is exquisitely Amodovarian. It's funny, tender, a little
shocking, and it pays homage to what we know about movies: that they can
move us beyond words. (Excerpted from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY)
"No plot synopsis can begin to convey the moving, subterranean emotions
TALK TO HER evokes. It's Almodovar's most mature and mysterious
movie"-NEWSWEEK. "Amodovar is able to write and direct with such a light,
sure touch that his presence is both all pervasive and invisible. His film
illuminates whatever it touches"-THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
April 7, 8 7:10
April 9, 10 4:30, 7:10
TALK TO HER is showing in the Rose Theatre.

THE QUIET AMERICAN
Directed by Phillip Noyce
Rated R for images of violence and some language. 101
min. <http://www.miramax.com>
A beautiful melancholy hovers over the tragic players in THE QUIET
AMERICAN, Phillip Noyce's superbly controlled, passionate adaptation of
Graham Greene's 1955 novel about political and romantic treachery in 1950s
Vietnam. The country looks timelessly serene and sensual, but it's all
about to blow, of course, and everything duplicitous and naive is contained
within the hooded personal agendas of a tired British journalist, a
fresh-faced American on a mission, and a graceful young Vietnamese woman
loved by both men.
THE QUIET AMERICAN is a disquieting story, intently critical not only of
the United States' involvement in Vietnam but also of aggressive,
forward-thrusting U.S.-ness in general; for this reason there was been
studio hemming and hawing about when to release the picture.
Noyce's movie works because the director (who juggled thrills and political
intrigue in PATRIOT GAMES and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER) trusts himself, and
his audience, to understand that catastrophe isn't always a matter of loud
ideology. Rather, it's the result of age-old human weakness. And
sometimes it's quiet. (Excerpted from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY) Michael Caine
and Brendan Fraser costar. Phillip Noyce also directed RABBIT PROOF FENCE.
"A meticulously crafted intelligent thriller"-LOS ANGELES DAILY
NEWS. "This may be the best performance of Michael Caine's career"-Roger Ebert
April 7, 8 7:30
April 9, 10 4:00, 7:30
THE QUIET AMERICAN is showing in the Rosebud Cinema.
