theater

TALK TO ME. Spend a night in boarding school and the Adams Pool—but leave the drama to the actors. An original play by Ellenor J.

THE MENAECHMI OF PLAUTUS. Come one, come all, to this hilarious comedy of errors, otherwise known as the Harvard Classical Club’s production of Plautus’ ancient Roman comedy. A provocative medley of song and satire, this bawdy parade of stock characters and wild confrontations has charmed audiences for over 2000 years, providing the inspirational fodder behind Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors and Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. See story on page B-6. Friday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, March 15, at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets on sale at the Harvard Box Office or by phone at (617) 496-2222. Agassiz Theatre. (JET)

SAKINA’S RESTAURANT. Aasif Mandvi’s Obie Award winning comedy comes off its long off-Broadway run with a fresh viewpoint. The Harvard South Asian Association presents “Sakina’s Restaurant,” a funny and heart-warming one-man show that centers around Azgi, an Indian emigrant who comes to New York to work in a restaurant and realize the “American dream.” Through the varied perspectives of Indian-born and second generation Indian-Americans, a series of vignettes strung together by clever and touching parables follow his impassioned and humorous attempts to make sense of America. Friday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 15 at 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tickets $6 adults, $5 students, children, seniors, available at the Harvard Box Office or by phone at (617) 496-2222. Leverett House Old Library. (TIH)

HIGHWAY ULYSSES. This adaptation by American Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Robert Woodruff follows a modern-day Ulysses as he travels to retrieve his son, who is being held by state social services after the death of his mother, Ulysses’s ex-wife. The play takes a powerful and bleak journey through a mind tortured by a violent, war-filled past. Based on the prototypical road trip saga, the show is simultaneously the poignant memoir of an abused wife and mother and a commentary on the myths of war and heroism. Daily at 7:30 p.m. except Mondays (2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Sundays) through March 22. Tickets $34-$68, available at the ART Box Office or by phone 617-547-8300. American Repertory Theater, 64 Brattle St. (SHP)

The exhibit, which is the first retrospective of an African-American artist at a Harvard University museum, is also Delaney’s first retrospective since he passed away in 1979. It features 26 highly textured, vibrant paintings by the underappreciated 20th-century African-American expatriate artist, most of which are dominated by warm, vivid shades of yellow See full story in the Feb. 28 Arts section.

film

ALIAS BETTY. This psychological thriller directed by Claude Miller follows Betty Fisher (Sandrine Kiberlain) as she deals with the loss of a son and the strange adventures that ensue from her unbalanced mother’s (Mathilde Seigner) attempt to replace him with a kidnapped boy. Critics —Freudian and otherwise—have hailed the film, and Miller, Kiberlaine and Seigner have all earned awards for their work. Alias Betty screens Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 16 at 5:15, 7:30 and 9:45 at the Brattle Theater. (LAA)

HARVARD SQUARE LOEWS

10 CHURCH ST., (617) 864-4580

ABOUT SCHMIDT. About Schmidt, in a bizarrely somber, comedic fashion, is possibly the most depressing film of Jack Nicholson’s long career. His performance as a retired insurance executive is a deeply complex and hilariously tragic portrayal of the most banal aspects of one man’s post-mid-life crisis. Director Alexander Payne, famous for his digressions on suburban angst in films such as Election and Citizen Ruth, keeps the tone light and the characters archetypally and deliciously bizarre. About Schmidt screens at 12:15, 3:15, 7 and 10 p.m. (CJF)

ADAPTATION. At its core, Adaptation is an analysis of the intellectual diseases that plague every writer, from editorial pressure to sibling rivalry to unrequited love. But its narrative edges make it a unique experience. Nicolas Cage plays writer Charlie Kaufman (the real-life writer of the film), who becomes consumed by his assignment to adapt Susan Orlean’s meditative nonfiction novel The Orchid Thief and his own personal eccentricities. Like Kaufman and director Spike Jonze’s previous film Being John Malkovich, several plots overlap and intertwine with surprising at dramatic twists, creating a frustrating, complex film that is infinitely insightful and weirdly moving. Adaptation screens at 12:30, 3:30, 6:15 and 9:15 p.m. (CJF)

CHICAGO. The potential revival of the Hollywood musical is upon us with Chicago—for better or worse. Ignoring its politicized ramifications as a genre revival, Chicago on its own is a pretty wild ride, showcasing once and for all that the new school of glitzy film stars can sing better than Jennifer Lopez. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, and especially John C. Reilly are surprisingly watchable in this furiously edited, expensive adaptation of the murderous Broadway classic. Chicago screens at 1, 4, 7:30 and 10:10 p.m. (CJF)

THE HOURS. This adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer-winning novel is unapologetically Oscar bait, backed by a triumvirate of A-list actresses (Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore). Yet for a film of its ostensible weight, The Hours certainly takes easy shots at its lead trio—three colossally boring straw women who rediscover their lost vitality in drearily obvious ways as the picture progresses. Perhaps The Hours’ greatest value rests in its side-by-side comparison of Moore, the greatest actress of her generation, and Streep, the most acclaimed actress of hers; when judged head-to-head, Moore ends up easily topping Streep, if for no other reason than that Streep persists in being an actress onscreen while Moore is content to be a person. The Hours screens at 12:45, 3:45, 6:45 and 9:45 p.m. (BJS)

THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE. Kevin Spacey stars as Professor David Gale, an anti-death penalty crusader accused of murdering a fellow activist (Laura Linney) in this issue movie from Alan Parker (Angela’s Ashes). Once Gale reaches death row, he gives his side of the story to an ambitious reporter (Kate Winslet). The film’s trio of Oscar darlings and hot social topic should lend some class and relevance, respectively, to the reportedly twist-heavy story. The Life of David Gale screens at 12, 3, 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. (BJS)

KENDALL SQUARE CINEMA

ONE KENDALL SQ., (617) 494-9800

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. Michael Moore’s quintessential documentary on red-neck Americana and its political basis has turned more heads in curiosity than a gun show in Harvard Square would. Criticized for its self-indulgence and questionable objectivity, Bowling for Columbine is nonetheless a dazzling example of the power of politically charged cinema. Probably the most talked-about film of the year, Bowling for Columbine effectively condenses nearly a decade of American history into a digestible, moving meditation on the sources of American gun violence. That’s no small feat. Bowling for Columbine screens at 4:30 and 9:50 p.m. (CJF)

CITY OF GOD. Brazilian Fernando Meirelles’ high-energy depiction of gang warfare in the titular Rio de Janeiro slum has been met with critical raves and comparisons to the mob pictures of Martin Scorsese. The protagonist, a young photographer named Rocket, succeeds in evading the gang lifestyle; his childhood friend fails to follow suit, instead succumbing to the temptations of crime and power. Dynamic, darkly funny and spitting electricity, City of God presents a strife-ridden world lurching towards destruction. City of God screens at 1, 3:50, 6:40 and 9:35 p.m. (BJS)

HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT. Audrey Tautou, whose titular role in Amelie spurred countless critics to rediscover the word “gamine,” turns her wide eyes and mischievous smile to service the Fatal Attraction scenario of this French thriller. The film begins from Tautou’s perspective, charting her imagined affair with a French cardiologist, before it replays the same events from the cardiologist’s more lucid viewpoint. What emerges from thismultiple-perspective tale is a study of romantic delusion that owes more to Rashomon than to the latest Sandra Bullock product. He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not screens at 2:30, 4:50, 7:20 and 9:40 p.m. (BJS)

IRREVERSIBLE. See preview. Irreversible screens at 2:40, 5, 7:30 and 10 p.m.

LOST IN LA MANCHA. Visionary director Terry Gilliam’s ill-fated recent effort to make a Don Quixote movie is chronicled in this new documentary. After a difficult pre-production period, Gilliam’s film is slapped with a malicious case of Murphy’s Law once it begins shooting. Six days of location work, flash floods, screaming jets and an injured star force the production to shut down, leaving insurance agents to smooth over the chaos and Gilliam fans to ponder what might have been. Jeff Bridges, who starred in Gilliam’s The Fisher King, narrates. Lost in La Mancha screens at 2:20 and 7:40 p.m. (BJS)

THE PIANIST. Adrien Brody’s magnetic, largely silent performance in Roman Polanski’s Holocaust drama almost compensates for The Pianist’s inconsistent tone and distasteful political sensibilities. Brody’s Wladek Szpilman, who could hardly have picked a worse time and place to be Jewish, transforms from cocky concert pianist to starving phantom hunted by Nazis after escaping death in the bombed-out ghetto. The film soars briefly as it reflects on the redemptive power of music and the Szpilman’s commitment to survival; it stumbles badly in its misleading depiction of universally heroic Poles and in its sympathy for an officer of Hitler’s vicious army to the east. The Pianist screens at 2:50, 6 and 9:10 p.m. (NKB)

THE QUIET AMERICAN. Michael Caine is garnering some of the best reviews of his career for his role as a hardened journalist in this adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel. The film, set in 1950s Vietnam, pits Caine against Brendan Fraser’s undercover American spy as Fraser vies for the affections of Caine’s Vietnamese mistress (Do Thi Hai Yen). Fraser’s intervention in the romance is intended to parallel the film’s other plot—a commentary on the early American efforts to eradicate communism in Vietnam. Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) and Robert Schenkkan adapt Greene’s book, while Phillip Noyce (Rabbit-Proof Fence) directs. The Quiet American screens at 2, 4:20, 6:55 and 9:15 p.m. (BJS)

RIVERS AND TIDES. A documentary about erosion may sound as appetizing as a plate piled high with General Wong’s Chicken, but filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer has apparently met the challenge and created an erosion movie worth seeing. Rivers and Tides tracks artist Andy Goldsworthy, a Scottish sculptor of what he dubs “earthworks,” organic creations positioned in a fashion and location that leaves them vulnerable to the elements. Works of stone, ice and wood are placed on land or in the sea in such a way that they are beaten into uselessness or oblivion. Sounds like an Ingmar Bergman PBS documentary. Rivers and Tides screens at 1:50, 4:10, 6:45 and 9 p.m. (BJS)

RUSSIAN ARK. The latest film from Russian director Alexander Sokurov uses 2,000 actors and thirty-five rooms of The Hermitage museum to bring 300 years of Russian history to life. Even more astonishingly, the film is presented in one single 95 minute, continuous, unedited, technologically and artistically miraculous SteadiCam shot. Critical awe—from Roger Ebert to the Village Voice (in which it appeared on five of six critics’ top-ten lists for 2002) —has followed wherever it goes. Russian Ark screens at 2:10, 4:40, 7:05 and 9:20 p.m. (LAA)

TALK TO HER. With Golden Globes and the Oscars just around the corner, the only recognition that Pedro Almodovar’s pretentious Talk to Her deserves is as the year’s most overrated film. Though beautifully shot and populated with a set of unusually complicated characters, Talk to Her shamelessly and outrageously asks its audience to sympathize with a rapist. The film manages, paradoxically, to be both sloppily edited and deadeningly self-conscious. As it progresses, the audience is slowly but surely ushered into a stupor very closely resembling that of the coma victim at the story’s inane center. Talk to Her screens at 1:10, 4, 7:10 and 9:55 p.m. (NKB)
