Film Events This Week:
Monday, September 28th, 6-7pm: Dartmouth Film Society Meeting (Wilson 205)
The Dartmouth Film Society is a student organization that meets once a week to discuss the films playing at the Hopkins Center, debate important issues (like whether Ghostbusters is the best film of all time), write program notes, critique new movie trailers and vote on series proposals for future terms. You don’t have to be an expert - you just have to have an opinion!
Friday, October 2nd, 7pm: Hop Film: “Mr. Holmes”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
Ian McKellen’s understated and charming approach to the role of Sherlock Holmes is “nothing short of magnificent” (Rolling Stone). Offering a new twist on the world’s most famous detective, this elegant puzzler finds a 93-year-old Holmes tending to bees at a seaside farmhouse—yet unwilling to go gently into that good night. Still troubled by the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, Holmes must find answers to the mysteries of life and love before it's too late. D: Bill Condon, UK, 2015, 104m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/hopfilmmrholmes
Friday, October 2nd, 8pm & 10:30pm: “All Atheists are Muslim”
(Warner Bentley Theater, Hopkins Center for the Arts, $10 for students)
Can Zahra have her atheist and be Muslim, too? No problem: She just needs to convince her immigrant Iranian parents to approve of her living with her “SoCal” infidel—err, non-believing—boyfriend. A leading comic voice for American Muslim millennials, Noorbakhsh imbues this one-woman “sparkling autobiographical comedy” (The Villager, NYC) with a keen ear for character and a nimble compassion for the challenges of navigating multiple identities.
Discussion with Zahra Noorbakhsh following 8 pm show, Warner Bentley Theater.

Saturday, October 3rd, 1pm: The MET Opera Live in HD: “Il Trovatore” (Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students)
Il Trovatore has it all — a brave hero, a selfless heroine, a sinister villain, skeletons in the family closet, and four acts brimming with gloriously passionate music. Soprano Anna Netrebko’s dramatic and vocal skills are on full display in her next new role at the Met—Leonora, the Verdi heroine who sacrifices her own life for the love of the gypsy troubadour. Tenor Yonghoon Lee sings the ill-fated Manrico, baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky is his rival, and mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick is the mysterious gypsy with the troubled past. Marco Armiliato conducts Sir David McVicar’s Goya-inspired production.

Saturday, October 3rd, 6:30pm: Hop Film: “The End of the Tour”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
On tour with his landmark 1996 novel Infinite Jest, breakout author David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) is joined by Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg). Their recorded conversations explore Wallace’s insecurity with his newfound celebrity, his enduring depression and the pair’s unique but precarious connection. Based on Lipsky’s best-selling memoir, this moving tribute to an author gone too soon is as filled with humor as it is with melancholy. D: James Ponsoldt, US, 2015, 106m

Saturday, October 3rd, 7pm: HD Broadcast: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
(Spaulding Auditorium, Hopkins Center for the Arts, $10 for students)
Of all Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is the most phantasmagorical, featuring fairies, spells, and hallucinatory lovers chasing each other through the woods. Julie Taymor (Broadway’s The Lion King) turns out a production that's visually breathtaking, funny, sexy and darkly poetic. With cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto (Argo, Frida) and music by Academy Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal, this is an immersive, inventive cinematic experience that was filmed during the show’s highly acclaimed inaugural run. The feats of visual imagination are ingenious and plentiful, but beating at the center of the film is an emotionally moving take on the deeper human aspects of this beloved tale. 145m

Saturday, October 3rd, 9pm: Hop Film: “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
So many interesting surprises in this latest installment of the M:I franchise: jaw-dropping action sequences in exotic locales; a clever, almost philosophical script; a fleet, sure-footed pace; a light tone with a winking sense of fun; Tom Cruise at his incorrigible daredevil/consummate professional best; the beloved gang (Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Alec Baldwin) and a badass female agent who keeps everyone guessing. The bad guys of the Syndicate never have a chance. D: Christopher McQuarrie, US, 2015, 131m

Sunday, October 4th, 4pm: DFS Film: “The Wolfpack”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
Movies can change your life, but can they save it? Locked away from society in a Manhattan apartment, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through films, reenacting their favorites with elaborate props. But when one of the brothers escapes, the “Wolfpack” must learn how to integrate without disbanding the brotherhood. Hypnotic and haunting, Crystal Moselle’s directing debut tells this stranger-than-fiction story with sensitivity, intimacy and compassion. D: Crystal Moselle, US, 2015, 80m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/dfsfilmthewolfpack
