SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - Anatomy of a Fall
DESCRIPTION:This sensational and engrossing film won the Palme d’Or\, top prize at the Cannes Film Festival\, and ran away with the top European Film Awards for best film\, best director\, best actress\, best screenwriter for 2023. \nThe movie propels its audience through a mystery that begins with Samuel dropping to his death from the upper window of a French chalet he shares with his wife Sandra and their eleven-year old son Daniel. The immediate and obvious question is whether Samuel jumped or was pushed\, but the courtroom drama that follows leads us into other mysteries. One involves Samuel and Sandra’s conflicted relationship; another is about why she writes and why he wishes to but doesn’t; then there is a running subtext about language itself; and finally\, there’s young Daniel. This movie challenges its viewers in how they understand and believe things. As noted by The New Yorker\, “we can’t help wondering: when\, and under what emotional pressure\, does a memory shift from being a reliable account of something to a story that we tell ourselves about what we wish had occurred?” \nAnatomy of a Fall is R rated and there are some subtitles. The movie will be free\, with donations welcome to help offset production costs.

SUMMARY:Improv Performance
DESCRIPTION:The performance features the Playback Theatre actors listening to true stories from audience members. The “teller” then casts the actors in different roles and they use all their creative resources to immediately play the story back to the audience. The resulting “re-enactments” are often poignant as well as funny\, finding the heart and the funny bone embedded in each tale. \n“We’re pleased to be bringing back Playback\,” says RAAC Theatre Artistic Director Patty Hardee. “Before covid\, the group led a well-attended workshop that drew people interested in learning Playback’s unique improv techniques. That evening they demonstrated in performance the range and fun of Playback improv.” Boomie Pedersen\, a talented actress and long-time member of the Playback troupe based in Charlottesville will help lead the workshop. Last September in the Little Washington Theatre Boomie performed the one-woman show “The Man Who Eats Books\,” a play by the late Julie Portman. \n“Playback brings to the stage stories and story fragments suggested by the audience\,” says Boomie. “The workshop introduces the participants to the forms used to play back stories\, starting with the simplest one-word story and moving to fully casted longer stories. Everyone has stories and feelings and those are really the only two requirements for Playback\, along with a spirit of adventure and a ‘yes\, and’ attitude.” \nTickets are $17.85 and can be purchased at Eventbrite. \n

SUMMARY:Movie - One Life
DESCRIPTION:Sir Anthony Hopkins stars in this true story about British humanitarian Nicholas Winton\, where kindness is king. In his role as an aging Winton\, Hopkins reminisces about his past\, when he was a 29-year-old British stock broker travelling to Prague in 1938 and quickly sizes up the catastrophe set to unfold under Nazi occupation. Working with two officials from the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia\, he manages to get hundreds of mostly Jewish children out on trains before the borders close. The film brings back the fraught moment facing Europe\, and Hopkins superbly shows the effects of age\, and regret for those he couldn’t save. \nThe movie is free\, with donations welcome to cover production costs.

SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - American Fiction
DESCRIPTION:American Fiction is a thought-provoking and funny film directed by Cord Jefferson and starring Jeffrey Wright. The American Film Institute ranked this movie as one of the ten best for 2023; it also won five nominations at the 96th Academy Awards\, including Best Actor for Wright\, and best adapted screenplay for Jefferson. Wright sensitively plays Thelonious “Monk” Ellison\, a literary-minded African American writer who is pressed to chase greater commercial success by churning out cliche-filled works depicting Black suffering at its rawest. Exasperated\, he composes a hoax novel filled with rappers\, crack\, and deadbeat dads\, but the story grows more complicated when the book becomes a soaring success. American Fiction shines a light on questions of race\, class and trend-driven publishing. Yet it isn’t a lecture\, but a drama involving complex characters whom movie audiences care about. \nThere is no ticket charge\, but donations are welcome to offset production costs.

SUMMARY:Endgame
DESCRIPTION:The RAAC Community Theatre will be presenting a production of what Samuel Beckett called his masterpiece\, Endgame. Performances are scheduled for September 27 and 29\, and October 4 and 5 at the Little Washington Theatre (291 gay Street). The show on Sunday\, Sept. 29 will be a matinee (3 pm); the other three shows will be at 7:30 pm. \nAfter an exceptional production of Waiting for Godot in 2019\, director Mike Mahoney and the Godot team are taking on Beckett once again. The cast includes Godot actors Hugh Hill and Andy Platt\, along with Mike King (recently seen as the male lead in Our Town)\, and long-time RAAC thespian Sallie Morgan. Platt and another Godot veteran\, Stephanie Mastri\, are assisting with direction. \nLiterary critic Harold Bloom called this play the most original work of literature of the 20th century\, and this production promises to deliver wit\, pathos\, and thought-provoking ambiguities. \nTickets for Endgame may be purchased through Eventbrite ($15 plus fees; $20 at the door).

SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - The Order
DESCRIPTION:RAAC’s next free movie will be The Order\, a domestic terrorism thriller focused on the true story of how the FBI closed in on a violent anti-government militia in Freeland\, Washington. In the 1980s\, when the group was gathering adherents and weapons\, counterfeiting money and robbing banks\, local law enforcers\, uneasy dealing with domestic terrorism threats\, seemed to look the other way\, until the arrival of a determined FBI agent\, played by Jude Law. \nThe group magnetized ordinary citizens by emphasizing pride in family and religion\, and the supremacy of white citizens over others. Clustered into an isolated compound on Whidbey Island\, believers lent themselves to the urgent mission their leaders laid out: rescuing White Christian America from a communist takeover plot. Having accepted the premise that only violent upheaval could prevent disaster\, the group moved into battle-mode\, deaths multiplied\, and loyalty to a mesmerizing cult leader went unquestioned. \nViolent extremists make for violent movies\, but in this one\, the acting carries the day. Jude Law’s character exudes intelligence and commitment to a harrowing mission\, while showing signs of age and exhaustion. There are several moments when dialogues lapse into silence\, with facial expressions alone delivering the emotional punch. \nThe film is based on the 1989 non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America’s Violent\, Anti-Government Militia Movement by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in August where it competed for the Golden Lion award. \nThough the movie screening is free\, donations are welcome to offset production costs. Hearing assistance is available.
