BREACH
Directed by Billy Ray
Cast: Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Laura Linney
Rated PG-13 for violence, sexual content and language. 110 min.
View The Trailer: <http://www.breachmovie.net>
One of the best elements of this lean, tense, cooly believable story
about the internal hunt for FBI turncoat Robert Hanssen is how its
visual style and dearth of formulaic structural ingredients run
counter to almost any other spy movie.
There is good reason scenes unfold with steady rhythm and locations
are drab fluorescent hallways of government bureaucracy, ordinary
homes or perfectly framed outdoor locales drained of all prettiness
by slate-gray winter. Stillness and calm can be rife with tension
and suspense, and since Breach is about internal struggles, the
external dreariness does much to enhance the turmoil, suspicion and
volleys of lies told by and to professional liars.
Chief in the web of deceit is Hanssen, who, as an FBI desk jockey,
had been selling classified documents to the Soviet Union since the
Cold War, then continued passing secrets to Russia until his arrest
in February 2001. His actions are known to have caused the deaths of
numerous agents working for the U.S.
He got away with it for 22 years, all while maintaining boring
employee-of-the-month behavior at work and a devout pious Catholic
family life at home. Chris Cooper brings the deceptions of Hanssen's
dour existence together in a remarkable performance that breeds more
dread than any undercover spy lurking in shadowy alleys. (Excerpted
from The Seattle Times)
"A wonderfully taut cat-and-mouse thriller"-Newsweek. "A tough,
bare-knuckle film that holds you captive from start to finish"-The
New York Observer. "Filled with tension, deception and bravura
acting"-Los Angeles Times. "A thriller that manages to excite and
unnerve"-The New York Times
_________________________________________________
THE PAINTED VEIL
Directed by John Curran
Cast: Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Diana Rigg
Rated PG-13 for some mature sexual situations, partial nudity,
disturbing images and brief drug content. 125 min.
View The Trailer: <http://www.thepaintedveilmovie.com>
John Curran's The Painted Veil is reminiscent of a Merchant-Ivory
film, and that's no small praise. While its period details are
precise and careful, its performances are stark and honest, with
nothing prettified about them. In it, two people discover new sides
to each other, both dark and light.
Based on W. Somerset Maugham's elegant novel, The Painted Veil tells
of a marriage gone awry. Walter Fane marries society girl Kitty in
1920s London. She has, we learn, been on the shelf a bit too long,
and so she reluctantly agrees to marry a man to whom she is not
attracted. They marry and move to Shanghai, where he works in
infectious-disease research and where she quickly meets another man,
the caddish Charlie. An affair unfolds, as does a beautifully
underplayed scene in which Kitty realizes that Walter knows exactly
what's going on. He's not sad, but resigned and bitter, and he
abruptly announces that the couple will move to a remote village
ravaged by a cholera epidemic.
And here, after all this plot, is where The Painted Veil really
begins. In a green-hilled village that seems a universe away from
the clatter of London and Shanghai, Walter and Kitty experience each
other anew, leading to changes both expected and unexpected.
A thoughtful and beautifully mounted story for grown-ups, The Painted
Veil brings the quiet pleasures of a fine novel, showing us that the
world's complicated geography is no match for the terrain of the
human heart. (Excerpted from The Seattle Times)
"'The Painted Veil' has the power and intimacy of a timeless love
story...let it sweep you away"-Rolling Stone. "Norton and Watts truly
shine"-Chicago Sun Times. "Brilliantly written, superbly directed
and impeccably acted"-The New York Observer

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND
Directed by Kevin MacDonald
Cast: Forest Whitaker, James McAvoy, Kerry Washington, Simon
McBurney, Gillian Anderson
Rated R for strong violence and gruesome images, sexual content and
language. 121 min. <http://foxsearchlight.com>
Forest Whitaker has given a lot of extraordinary performances in his
career, but none quite as high-voltage as his portrayal of the
maniacal and, in his own mind at least, maniacally charming Ugandan
dictator Idi Amin in this intense, sometimes hallucinatory, and often
gruesome drama adapted from a novel by Giles Foden. The film's title
refers to the honor Amin once bestowed on himself, on account of his
defiance of Britain; the movie's other main character is a young
Scottish doctor (James McAvoy, who also played the little faun feller
in The Chronicles of Narnia), who, in a combination of dumb luck and
catastrophically poor judgement, becomes Amin's personal physician.
The physician, Nicholas Garrigan, is Foden's fictional composite of
several real-life figures in the real-world story of Amin's atrocious
regime, and the film's screenwriters employ a risky strategy with
this character. The witness to all manner of blustering, feinting,
paranoid, vengeful, and sadistic actions on Amin's part, Garrigan
functions as a sort of audience surrogate; but Garrigan himself is so
self-deluding, selfish, foolhardy and downright stupid that he's
something of a turnoff. This is all the point of course, that the
artists are making apropos Western involvement in African
affairs. But it compromises the movie's dramatic immediacy at
times. Never when Whitaker is on screen though.
Often seemingly encased in a film of sweat, so hyperconscious of his
larger-than-lifeness that he comes off as almost serene in his
derangement, Whitaker's Amin is the kind of raging lunatic that only
an actor who has made a speciality of quiet caginess could pull off
so convincingly. It's great, and scary, to see Whitaker turn it up
to 11 for once. (Excerpted from Rollling Stone)
Academy Award - Best Actor, Forest Whitaker. "An intelligent
thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seat"-Newsweek

CHILDREN OF MEN
Directed by Alfonso Cuaron
Cast: Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine.
Rated R for strong violence, language, drug use, some nudity. 109 min.
View The Trailer: <http://www.childrenofmen.com>
Thrilling and important, Children of Men is one of the very best
movies to come out of 2006. Yet, to my enduring regret, I failed to
include Children of Men on my list of last year's top 10 movies. So
now I'll call it number 10 with an asterisk. And I'll defend the
delay by adding that sometimes leisurely, private consideration is a
more fitting movie-loving response than instant assessment -
especially when it comes to the power of this prophetic dystopian
dazzler by the maker of Y Tu Mama Tambien and Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban.
In the picture's scenario, set just a calendar page or two ahead of
our own, the birthrate has dropped to zero, as if a mysterious
worldwide plague of infertility were the inevitable by-product of
societal rot. Apathy has led to privation, which in turn has led to
conflagrations of lawlessness, even in Britain. In such a dead zone,
Theo (Clive Owen), a callous bureaucrat has long since given up,
settling for thick-skinned cynicism as defense against despair.
All that begins to change, with a request, just this side of a bribe,
from Julian (Julianne Moore), his former lover, for Theo's assistance
in spiriting one particular refugee out of the country. Because the
young "fugee" woman called Kee is key indeed: She's pregnant, a
modern-day Madonna ripe with the possibility of the planet's first
new human life in 18 years. And so Theo, who sticks his neck out for
no one, becomes involved, and like Rick in Casablanca, helps obtain
precious letters of transit to a new tomorrow.
There's certainly a flash of George Orwell and a glint of Blade
Runner in such glitteringly downbeat prognostications. But what sets
the picture apart from its poli-sci-fi forebears is Cuaron's unique,
full-throttle storytelling talent for blending propulsiveness of
staging and seriousness of political content into one urgent piece;
there's no gap between entertainment and art, no lulls to make room
for flights of philosophy. My biggest movie-loving anxiety these
days is that this great, dark specimen of fine 2006 filmmaking will
be lost too soon in the jumble of last year's more classifiable
classy fare. (Excerpted from Lisa Schwarzbaum's Entertainment Weekly review)
"'Children of Men' is filled with scenes which dazzle you with their
technical complexity and visual virtuosity. On this level alone it's
easily one of the best films of the year"-Film Journal International

LITTLE CHILDREN
Directed by Todd Field
Cast: Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly, Jackie Earle
Haley, Noah Emerich
Rated R for strong sexuality and nudity, and some disturbing content
View The Trailer: <http://www.littlechildrenmovie.com>
Sarah Pierce (Kate Winslet), the thirtyish heroine of Todd Field's
extraordinary new movie, Little Children, dropped out of graduate
school to marry and older man - a business consultant - and moved
into a neo-Colonial house near Boston that he inherited from his
mother. Some years have gone by, and the marriage is not in the best
shape. Sarah is the latest version of the baffled Americans that
Betty Friedan wrote about forty years ago in "The Feminine Mystique"
- the women supposedly living the American dream. What's
particularly embittering in this case is that Sarah knew all about
the trap and still stepped into it.
Little Children is a sharply intelligent and affecting view of
suburban blues - a much bigger canvas than Field's previous movie, In
the Bedroom (2001). It's smarter, tougher, closer to the common
life. Field has grown in ambition, but he still works on an intimate
scale. He surrounds his characters with an intense stillness, and
then slowly introduced the ungovernable into their lives.
The sexual awakening of a disappointed wife may seem like an old
movie turn, but when has it been done with such candor? At the
beginning of the movie, Kate Winslet's hair looks dead, and she hides
her body in denim overalls. When she falls in love with Brad
(Patrick Wilson), the transformation comes slowly and painfully: at
first, a nervous gesture, a smile that turns anxious, and then a
golden aureole of beauty, a body in movement. The sex scenes are
brief, naked, heated, startling. But Winslet never loses the
awkwardness and uncertainty that will always be Sarah's
signature. At first Sarah and Brad seems prematurely defeated. Yet
the filmmakers hold out the possibility of a new life stirring under
the domestic halter and intellectual sloth. Adults may not be
happier than overgrown children, but at least they have a chance of
finding out who they are. (Excerpted from The New Yorker)
"The film pulls you in like a magnetic force. A never-better Kate
Winslet goes so deep into her character you can almost feel her nerve
endings-Rolling Stone

THE LIVES OF OTHERS - Academy Award, Best Foreign Language Film -
Opens Friday, March 23
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Cast: Martina Gedeck, Ulrich Muhe, Sebastian Koch
Rated R for some sexuality and nudity. In German with English
subtitles. 137 min.
View The Trailer: <http://www.sonyclassics.com>
George Orwell foretold the spiritual and political morass that
results from Communism gone rotten in 1984, when Big Brother - more
concretely, the Stasi, the country's relentless secret police - was,
in point of fact, watching everyone in the Communist German
Democratic Republic. The utterly riveting fictional drama The Lives
of Others re-creates that dismaying recent era of paranoia and
privation without an ounce of the nostalgia popular in recent, wry,
post-ironic movies escapes like 2004's Good Bye, Lenin!
In [The lives of Others] everyone has reason to look over his
shoulder, especially with a Stasi officer like Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich
Muhe, perfecting an X-ray stare) on the job. An unwavering believer
in his country's political philosophy and the need for vigilance to
enforce those "ideals," Wiesler prides himself on his ability to
expose even the smallest chinks in the armor of citizen compliance.
Brought to the theater by a colleague to see the latest play by Georg
Dreyman, a successful, model "non-subversive" artist with a
respectful following in the West, the Stasi man is convinced he can
find the wrong behind the playwright's apparent veneer of right. And
so, having thoroughly bugged Dreyman's apartment, he sets up his
listening post on a floor above to begin spying on (and interfering
with) lives of others that are as humanly fluid, inconsistent, and
unpredictable as his is rigid.
The filmmaker's control of story and pacing is so wily, his script so
literate that to reveal much more would interfere with the thrill of
the tentacled plot's twists. The Lives of Others is, at heart, a
thriller, and thrillers depend on turns of event that are inevitably
artificial. No one is likely to confuse this Stasi man's story with
"reality." But no one can doubt the veracity of the human
unpredictability the movie captures, either. (Excerpted from
Entertainment Weekly)
"The best kind of movie: One you can't get out of your head"-Rolling
Stone. "Potent and unmissable"-Time Magazine. "A terrific tale. As
timely as it is timeless"-The Wall Street Journal

SWEET LAND
Directed by Ali Selim
Cast: Elizabeth Reaser, Tim Guinee, Alan Cumming
Rated PG; some material may not be suitable for children. 110 min.
View The Trailer: <http://www.sweetlandmovie.com>
If [director] Terrence Malick could ever banish the wispy art clouds
from his brain and give in to the storyteller inside, perhaps he
might make a movie as stirring as Sweet Land. I want to be
absolutely clear about what an independent triumph this is. The
writer-director, Ali Selim, has taken a low budget, two characters
who barely speak broken English, and a pace that's rigorously true to
the rhythms of rural life in 1920, and he has forged a visually
indelible movie that's a grand dream of the American past - a tale
that links up with the images so many of us have of our relatives and
ancestors: the nation's seed sowers.
Inge (Elizabeth Reaser), who grew up in Norway but speaks only
German, arrives on the dappled plains of Minnesota toting a Victrola
but without her papers, so when she connects with Olaf (Tim Guinee),
the dour, strapping Norwegian farmer it has been arranged for her to
marry, the two aren't allowed to go through with the
ceremony. Instead, they coexist in an awkward limbo, which turns out
to be God's romantic gift to them. Selim unveils an organic
community: the farmers and capitalist land scavengers, the beauty of
making a pie, the brute hardship of harvesting a corn crop the size
of several baseball fields.
Sweet Land is a movie of extraordinary tenderness, in which Reaser
and Guinee, using a language of looks, make you happy to think about
what love once might have been. (Excerpted from Entertainment Weekly)
"Think of 'Sweet Land' as a gift, a kind of delicate but deeply
emotional love story shot in a beautiful epic style. Few actresses
own the camera with as much authority as Elizabeth Reaser does
here. Everyone who worked on 'Sweet Land' seems to have understood
why this story mattered, everyone felt its emotional power, and it's
hard to imagine an audience member who won't feel it as well"-Los Angeles Times

Dan Lamberton: The Curious Mr. Matsura
This presentation concerns the life of Frank Matsura, who left Japan
in 1901, settled in Seattle and then moved to Okanogan in 1903 where
he took remarkable and distinctive photographs of the region, its
citizens (of all races), and inspired the county's loyalty. His
photographs are compiled in the WSU Library and at the Okanogan
County Historical Society. Dan Lamberton's fascination with the
sense of place emerges from years on his family's Okanogan Valley
farm and the back country of the Northwest. Since 1994 he has been
chair of the Humanities Program at Walla Walla College where he is a
member of the honors faculty. He holds a masters degree in English
literature and an MFA in poetry. Lamberton is a singer, and also a

Mott Greene: Science and Democracy: Can This Marriage be Saved?
U.S. constitutional democracy is married to 17th century Newtonian
physics, and though it has allowed an ongoing menage with
mid-Victorian Darwinism, it has refused acquaintance with any of the
younger generation of suitors - relativity, quantum mechanics,
theoretical population genetics. Most college educated U.S.
residents have a scientific world view between 150-250 years out of
date. What would a modern scientific world view look like (if anyone
had one)? How could it be acquired, and what would its political and
social consequences (very useful, very positive) likely be? Mott
Greene is John Magee Professor of Science and Values and Director of
the Program in Science, Technology and Society at the University of
Puget Sound.

in the Wills Neuroscience Institute at University of
California-Berkeley. His research has focused on the evolution of
human brains and cognitive capacities, and also has included studies
of neural development. He is currently completing a new book,
Homunculus, that attempts to develop the concept of emergence and use
it to illuminate some previously unresolved issues concerning the
biological conception of information and complex functions and
includes novel approaches to the origin of life and the evolution of
consciousness.

French octogenarian Chris Marker's latest cinematic essay is a
