FILM+DINING GUIDE The Film House

L SPECISAEASON S AWARD AM PROGR

February+March 2018

Two Years of Great Films This February marks two years since the projector first lit up the big screen in The Film House at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre.

In that time, over four hundred film titles have been presented. First-run features, documentaries, and family films have been the mainstay, along with repertory classics and cult stand-outs. All have been selected with the intent to bring a mix of films that will appeal to the varied tastes and interests of all the citizens of St. Catharines.

The Film House has connected St. Catharines and Niagara to the exhilarating and everexpanding world of cinema. The community has responded. Almost 50,000 film-goers have, “taken in a show”. Almost all of these films were titles that otherwise wouldn’t have been seen in our city.

The Film House arrived in the nick of time for cinema culture in St. Catharines, at a juncture when a single corporately-run cine-mall had narrowed film choice to blockbusters and a handful of other titles. And while The Film House now makes it possible to see a host of extraordinary films in our downtown, Netflix and other streaming services are applying new pressures, producing and releasing titles direct to the home market. Just as with video cassette players and satellite services in the past, the landscape of film is being altered. Through these shifts there is one thing that didn’t and will not change: the incomparable experience of being swept away by a film; on the big screen, in a purpose-built theatre, surrounded by others who appreciate great cinema.

We’re continuing to expand our audience. We encourage you to become a member, receive discounts on tickets and concessions, and get on the inside track with the wonderfully diverse program of titles the Performing Arts Centre brings every month.

Victoria & Abdul

UK, USA, 2017. Directed by Stephen Frears.

111 min. PG Abdul Karim arrives from India to participate in Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee. The young clerk is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As Victoria questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance that her household and inner circle try to destroy. As their friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes, joyfully reclaiming her humanity.

“Dench is 82 now, but she remains the world’s most formidable pixie, and in Victoria & Abdul she’s in her element and in her snappish, showbiz-melancholy prime.”

- Owen Gleiberman, Variety Thurs 1 Feb 7PM / Fri 2 Feb 6:30PM Sat 3 Feb 6:30PM Sun 4 Feb 7PM / Tues 6 Feb 7PM

Happy End

France, Austria, Germany, 2017. Directed by Michael Haneke. 107 min. 14A Master auteur Michael Haneke (Amour, The White Ribbon, Hidden) returns with a biting satire on bourgeois family values set in the shadow of the European refugee crisis. Featuring a cast of top acting talent, including Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Mathieu Kassovitz and Toby Jones, it’s a piercing dark comedy on the blind preoccupations of middle-class angst.

Happy End bears all the hallmarks of Haneke’s uniquely stark and unsympathetic style.

Pairing pitch-black humour with chillingly precise direction, it’s proof—if we ever needed it—that he remains one of modern cinema’s true visionaries.

“This is filmmaking of the highest order, a masterly display of chilling precision and with performances of fierce intensity”

- Edward Lawrenson, The Big Issue

Hostiles

USA, 2017. Directed by Scott Cooper.

133 min. 14A In 1892, legendary Army Capt. Joseph Blocker reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne chief and his family back to their tribal land. Embarking on a harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, New Mexico, to the grasslands of Montana, they soon encounter a young widow

whose family was killed on the plains. The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that’s crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.

“A finely crafted Western which doesn’t flinch from portraying the horrors inflicted during that violent era, and which boasts an astounding performance from Christian Bale.”

- Dan Jolin, Empire

Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool

UK, 2017. Directed by Paul McGuigan.

105 min. 14A Based on Peter Turner’s memoir, the film follows the playful but passionate relationship between Turner (Jamie Bell) and the eccentric actress Gloria Grahame (Annette Bening)

in 1978 Liverpool. What starts as a vibrant affair between a legendary femme fatale and her young lover quickly grows into a deeper relationship, with Turner being the person Gloria turns to for comfort. Their passion and lust for life is tested by events beyond their control.

“Given one of the juiciest roles of her career, Bening makes every moment count.”

- Olly Richards, Empire

Lady Bird

USA, 2017. Directed by Greta Gerwig.

94 min. 14A Christine ‘Lady Bird’ McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird’s father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in

2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.

“The kind of modest, miraculous low-budget gem that takes on a life of its own.”

- Peter Debruge, Variety

Merchant Ale House

98 ST. PAUL STREET / 905-984-4060 FRIED GREEN TOMATO SANDWICH $13.95 Vegan pub grub doesn’t have to be super heavy or a soggy salad! Take a lightly breaded slice of green tomato, piled with fresh avocado, basil, and lettuce on a potato scallion bun with a tangy romesco sauce. That first bite is a crunchy, creamy dream. Make it non-veg by adding bacon. [JY]

Michi Ramen

12 KING STREET / 289-362-2033 VEGETARIAN RAMEN $10.99 Tucked away in a former late-night fry joint, lives downtown St. Catharines’ OG ramen house. Crisp green veggies swim in a savoury miso broth with chewy noodles, seaweed, scallions, and spinach. For spice, ask for the chili oil.

Bonus: this vegetarian soup can be made vegan. [JY]

Get Out

Japan, USA, 2017. Directed by Jordan Peele. 104 min. 14A Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their

daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

“This brutal, smart movie is impeccably made, as well as surprising, shocking, and funny, while also offering a compassionate, thoughtful look at race.”

- Jeffrey M. Anderson, Common Sense Media

Helen’s Deli+Catering 50 JAMES STREET / 905-685-0452 PORK SCHNITZEL SANDWICH $8.75

One of my all-time favourite downtown St. Catharines experiences is devouring a schnitzel sandwich from Helen’s.

Three generations of family tradition and handmade deliciousness. With an ever-expanding menu, now including ten! schnitzels, I still can’t resist ordering the same thing every time! [MC]

Seoul Korean Cuisine 249 ST. PAUL ST. / 905-641-3636 HOT STONE BIBIMBAP $10.99

My trick for eating bibimbap is to smoosh as much rice against the sides of the hot stone bowl to crisp it up. Here, they suggest topping with as much gochjang as possible and digging in. Either way, you can’t lose. It’s belly-filling, bodywarming, sinus-clearing goodness. [TM]

Dunkirk

UK, Netherlands, France, USA, 2017. Directed

by Christopher Nolan. 106 min. PG In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic

mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.

“Dunkirk is another landmark achievement by one of the most important and skilled storytellers in the present generation of filmmaking.”

- Neil Soans, Times of India

Thurs 1 Mar 7PM / Fri 2 Mar 6:30PM / Sat 3 Mar 6:30PM / Fri 9 Mar 9PM

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

UK, USA, 2017, Directed by Martin McDonagh.

115 min. 14A After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby, the town’s revered chief of police. When his sec-

ond-in-command, Officer Dixon—an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence— gets involved, the battle is only exacerbated.

“So sharply written that it cuts, the third movie from award-winning playwright Martin McDonagh is a dramedy that starts with cleverness and wit, then opens up into something truthfully human.”

- Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media

A Fantastic Woman

Chile, Spain, Germany, USA, 2017. Directed by Sebastián Lelio. 104 min. NR

Sat 10 Mar 9PM / Sun 11 Mar 7PM / Tues 13 Mar 7PM / Fri 16 Mar 9PM / Sat 17 Mar 9PM / Thurs 22 Mar 7PM

Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 30 years older than her, and owns a printing company. After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening, Orlando falls seriously ill and passes away just after arriving at the hospital. Instead of being able to mourn her lover, suddenly Marina is treated with suspicion. Orlando’s ex-wife forbids her from attending the funeral. And to make matters worse, Orlando’s son threatens to throw Marina out of the flat she shared with Orlando.

Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family, her gender identity is an aberration, a perversion. So Marina struggles for the right to be herself. She battles the very same forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now - a complex, strong, forthright and fantastic woman.

The Party

UK, 2017. Directed by Sally Potter.

71 min. NR Janet hosts an intimate gathering of friends in her London home to celebrate her political ascension. After her acerbic best friend and others arrive, some with dramatic news to share, an announcement by Janet’s husband provokes a series of revelations. As the sophisticated soiree starts to unravel, a night that began with champagne soon ends up with arguments, shouting and a pointed gun.

“Patricia Clarkson steals the show, but everyone in Potter’s gifted cast gets their moment to shine in a sharp-edged, claustrophobic parlour piece that puts the boot into middle-class mores.”

- Phil De Semlyen, Empire “A consummate drawing-room divertissement, played with relish by a dream ensemble.”

- Guy Lodge, Variety

Call Me By Your Name

Italy, France, Brazil, USA, 2017. Directed by Luca Guadagnino. 132 min. 14A It’s the summer of 1983, and precocious 17-year-old Elio Perlman is spending the days with his family at their 17th-century villa in Lombardy, Italy. He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who’s working as an intern for Elio’s father.

Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their

surroundings, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

“Each element is carefully calibrated, but deployed with consummate grace—this is a film to rush to, and to then savor every minute of.”

- David Sims, The Atlantic

Thurs 29 Mar 7PM / Fri 30 Mar 9PM / Sat 31 Mar 6:30PM / Sun 1 April 7PM / Tues 3 April 7PM

Death of Stalin

France, UK, 2017. Directed by Armando Iannucci. 106 min. NR The one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop). Moscow, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic

power struggle to be the next Soviet leader.

Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). But as they bumble, brawl and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed.

USA, 2017. Directed by Brett Morgen. 90 min. NR Wed 31 Jan 7PM / Sat 3 Feb 4PM / Wed 7 Jan 7PM Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage from the National Geographic archives, award-winning director Brett Morgen tells the story of JANE, a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.

PG Wed 28 Mar 7PM / Sun 1 April 4PM / Wed 4 April 7PM Tultepec, a town in south-central Mexico, becomes famous for its manufacturing of fireworks - and their annual National Pyrotechnics Festival. “Life and cinema have both proven that everyone loves explosions.

- Emily Yoshida, Vulture

Wed 21 Feb 7PM / Fri 23 Feb 6:30PM / Sat 24 Feb 4PM / Wed 28 Feb 7PM

Human Flow

Germany, 2017. Directed by Ai Weiwei.

Filmmaker Ai Weiwei examines the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Over the course of one year

in 23 countries, Weiwei follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretch across the globe, including Afghanistan, France, Greece, Germany and Iraq.

“This movie, a testament to the power of seeing, provides a long and uncommonly vivid look at a human crisis that’s changing the face of our planet.”

- Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Wed 7 Mar 7PM / Thurs 8 Mar 7PM / Sat 10 Mar 4PM / Wed 14 Mar 7PM Fri 16 Mar 6:30PM / Sun 18 Mar 4PM

Faces Places

France, 2017. Directed by JR, Agnès Varda.

89 min. PG Agnès Varda, whose unique cinematic vision since the 1950s has earned her a loyal following of enthusiastic cinephiles around the world, and the iconic photographer/muralist JR, boasting over a million followers on Instagram, have more in common than one

might imagine. Faces Places documents their heart-warming journey through rural France and the unlikely, tender friendship they formed along the way.

“Faces Places is a one-in-a-million crowd-pleaser that deserves to be seen by the widest audience possible.”

- David Sims, The Atlantic

Loving Vincent

UK & Poland 2017. Directed by Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman. 95 min. 14A Back by popular demand, Loving Vincent returns for a final screening.

On the 27th of July, 1890, a gaunt figure stumbled down a drowsy high street at twilight in the small French country town of Auvers. The man was carrying nothing; his hands clasped to a fresh bullet wound leaking blood from his belly. This was Vincent van Gogh, then a little known artist; now the most famous artist in the world. His tragic death has long been known, what has remained a mystery is how and why he came to be shot.

FINAL SCREENING

Sun 4 Mar 4PM

After 6 years of creative development, over 1,345 discarded paintings, out of 65,000 frames from 125 painters, Loving Vincent brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story as the first fully oil- painted animated film.
