“Good Bye, Lenin!”

Friday, June 8

Directed by Wolfgang Becker

In German with English subtitles

This lively and poignant satire takes place in October 1989, a bad time to fall into a coma if you live in East Germany — and this is what happens to Alex’s proudly socialist mother. Alex has a big problem on his hands when she suddenly awakens eight months later. With her heart so weak that any shock might kill her, what could be more shocking than the fall of the Berlin Wall and the triumph of capitalism? To save his mother, Alex transforms the family apartment into an island of the past, a kind of socialist-era museum where his mother is lovingly duped into believing that nothing has changed and that Lenin really did win after all!

“The Golden Coach”

Friday, June 15

An 18th-century comic fantasy about a viceroy who receives a golden coach and gives it to the tempestuous star of a touring commedia dell’arte company. Master director Jean Renoir’s sumptuous tribute to the theatre, presented here in the English version he favored, is set to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and built around vivacious and volatile star Anna Magnani. 103 minutes, not rated. Special mini-concert of baroque harpsichord music with Violet Grgich

“Mrs. Henderson Presents”

Friday, June 22

Academy Award winner Judi Dench received her fifth Oscar nomination for her saucy, hilarious performance in the title role. Mrs. Henderson (Dench) may be a widow in London but she is certainly not going to spend the rest of her days playing bridge. In a time when England is brought to its knees by war, she brings a nation to its feet in applause — with a live show featuring nude girls! 103 minutes, rated R (Nudity and brief language)

“The Tales of Hoffman”

Friday, June 29

The creative team that brought us “The Red Shoes” creates a phantasmagoric marriage of cinema and opera in this one-of-a-kind take on a classic story. In Jacques Offenbach’s fantasy opera, a poet dreams of three women — a mechanical performing doll, a bejeweled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer — who all break his heart in different ways. Powell and Pressburger’s feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced. 127 minutes, not rated.
