Thursday, October 15^th, 7pm: National Theater Live in HD: “Hamlet”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students – SOLD OUT)

“Though this be madness, yet there is method in it.” In this much-awaited production, Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock, The Imitation Game) takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. 180m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/ntlhamlet

A devastating spin on Vertigo, Christian Petzold’s (Barbara) spellbinding mystery of identity, illusion and deception unfolds against the turmoil of post-World War II Germany. Having undergone reconstructive surgery after surviving a concentration camp, Nelly (Nina Hoss) seeks out her former husband—but when he doesn’t recognize her, Nelly finds herself playing a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if he betrayed her to the Nazis.

Friday, October 16^th, 9pm: Hop Film: “Tangerine”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

It's Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend hasn't been faithful while she was locked up, the transgender working girl and her best friend embark on a rip-roaring odyssey through L.A. to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Filmed entirely on an iPhone, Sean Baker’s sneaky slice-of-life indie “slowly coalesces into a romantic comedy as intricately constructed as any door-slamming stage farce” (Slate). D: Sean Baker, US, 2015, 88m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/hopfilmtangerine

Saturday, October 17^th, 1pm: The Met Opera in HD: “Otello”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students)

In 1871, Verdi’s Aida had taken the musical world by storm. Following this success, the 58-year-old composer considered himself retired and retreated to his villa in the country. But then his publisher, in an attempt to coax him into writing another opera, brought Verdi together with Arrigo Boito, a writer (and composer) 30 years Verdi’s junior, and together they suggested a new project: an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello. Italian opera would never be the same. Verdi’s masterful Otello matches Shakespeare’s play in tragic intensity. Director Bartlett Sher probes the Moor’s dramatic downfall with an outstanding cast: tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko plays the doomed Otello; new soprano star Sonya Yoncheva sings Desdemona, Otello’s innocent wife and victim; and baritone Željko Lučić plays the evil Iago, who masterminds Otello’s demise. Dynamic maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.

Saturday, October 17^th, 7pm: Hop Film: “Mistress America”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Opposites attract, even in friendship. Barnard freshman Tracy is disappointed by life in the big city, but her soon-to-be stepsister Brooke—a jill-of-all-trades sustained by the sheer inertia of her schemes—eagerly draws her into a whirlwind of misadventure. A blend of delightful zaniness and social critique, Noah Baumbach’s (Frances Ha) highly quotable screwball farce offers a gentle treatise against the need for outside validation—a theme perfectly embodied by fearless comedienne Greta Gerwig. D: Noah Baumbach, US, 2015, 84m

Sunday, October 18^th, 4pm: DFS Film: “Cartel Land”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Access is the key to vérité-style documentaries the way “location, location, location” is to real estate—and Cartel Land has access in spades, vaulting us into the real world of Breaking Bad. Small-town Mexican physician Dr. Jose Mireles leads a citizen uprising against the violent Knights Templar drug cartel, while across the border Tim “Nailer” Foley leads the Arizona Border Recon, whose goal is to stop Mexico’s drug wars from seeping across our border. D: Matthew Heineman, US, 2015, 98m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/dfsfilmcartelland
