Join us for a Saturday Labor Goes to the Movies double feature.
A Separation (Iran, Farhadi, 2011)
2012 winner of best foreign film Oscar and the Golden Bear for Best Film and multiple wins for its actors at the Berlin Film Festival, and many other film festivals, A Separation has made an impact around the world.
Close-up (Iran, Kiarostami, 1990)
Close-up was voted the best Iranian film in history, and Kiarostami was voted the most important director of the 1990s by U.S. critics. The film “ultimately leaves the audience defenseless against the extraordinary power of its final scenes, which are as transcendent — and as shrewd — as anything in cinema.” Godfrey Cheshire.
Doors open at noon. A discussion will follow the films. Light refreshments provided.
