As a reprimand, his superiors send him to the most remote school in the world, to a village called Lunana, to complete his service. There he finds no electricity, no textbooks, or even a blackboard, only a small room where a Yak is tied up (no other place for a school). Only her ability to sing helps her win over her enthusiastic young students. He wants to quit… but he begins to learn about the hardships of life for these beautiful children and is won over by the villagers’ amazing spiritual strength and the untouched natural beauty of the Himalayan glacier where they live Wednesday, March 23, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. , Thursday, March 24, 7 p.m.
“Cyrano” – (PG-13; 2 hours, 4 minutes) – Sunday and Wednesday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Award-winning director Joe Wright wraps moviegoers in a symphony of emotion with music, romance and beauty at Cyrano, reimagining the timeless story of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether it’s fierce wordplay in a verbal contest or brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance makes him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — while Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight. , by Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.). Plays Friday, March 25, 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 26, 7 p.m.; Sunday, March 27, 2 p.m.; Wednesday March 30, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Thursday, March 31, 7 p.m.
“The charm and poignancy of the original text survives; Wright’s technical achievements are worth praising and the magnetic Haley Bennett has a beautiful singing voice that helps bring romantic ballads home. Peter Dinklage once again confirms his charisma, vigor and versatility. –The Hollywood Reporter
