Our spring Glenviewings series continues tomorrow (March 29)
with a screening of Foxcatcher at 2:00PM. Spend part of your Sunday afternoon with us watching what Mark Zoller Zeitz of Rogerebert.com says "is
a heartfelt, intelligent, deadly serious drama based on a real murder case in
which a wealthy patron hired two wrestler brothers, tried to seduce and control
one of them, and ended up murdering the other. Every frame of it is sincere. As
cowritten by E. Max Frye ("Something Wild")
and Dan
Futterman ("Capote") and
directed by Bennett Miller ("Capote,"
"Moneyball"),
it's also a throwback to a '70s style of commercial filmmaking. Much of it
unfolds in long takes, in medium or long distance shots that draw attention to
the environment around the characters, and there is minimal dramatic assistance
(or intrusion) by music. Parts of it evoke films by the late Alan J. Pakula ("All the
President's Men," "The Parallax View,"
"Comes a Horseman"), a master of understatement."
