NOW PLAYING


IFC CENTER
SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY (Thailand, 2006, 105 minutes)
Daily @ 1:30pm & 9:50pm
Thailand's preeminent art film director, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, turns in this enigmatic movie about parents, and doctors and all kinds of crazy stuff. If you don't like having to focus on a film, then this ain't for you. But just about every critic in the world has sung this movie's praises. To top it all off, it's at the center of a censorship controversy in Thailand.

Brooklyn Heights Cinema (70 Henry Street)
Daily Shows
THE HOST (Korea, 2006, 119 minutes)
Bong Joon-Ho's monster mash is one of the best additions to the “Big-scary- creature-jumping-around-trying-to-eat-you” genre since ALIEN and JAWS. And for good measure he also throws in Olympic archery, brain biopsies, schoolgirl uniforms, dragon barf, military ineptitude, Agent Orange (oops, I mean “Yellow”) and then lets the whole goulash simmer down to a lovely little spoonful of quiet, family intimacy. Needless to say, if you haven't seen it yet you really should.

THE GLAMOROUS LIFE OF SACHIKO HANAI (Japan, 2006, 90 minutes)
Daily @ 1:00pm; 3:10pm; 5:20pm; 7:30pm; 9:40pm
Sure it's a porn film, but it's a POLITICAL porn film featuring the wriggling, sexy, nuke-launching finger of President George W. Bush, a hooker turned genius via a bullet in the head and lots and lots of very weird, very funny sex.

“Will make your head explode.” - Subway Cinema

The ImaginAsian
TA RA RUM PUM (India, 2007, 160 minutes)
Daily at 3:30pm, 7pm, 10:30pm
The first big Bollywood blockbuster of the year, this could be TALLADEGA NIGHTS meets LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. A race car driver (cutie Saif Ali Khan) winds up losing everything and moving his family (including sexy wife Rani Mukherjee) to the slums. He tells his kids it's a reality show. Bad idea. Heart-tugging hilarity ensues. Every Bollywood fan will be here. Shouldn’t you?

Thursday, April 25 - Monday, April 30
April 26, 27, 30 @ 8:30pm
April 28 & 29 @ 2:00pm
The new feature length animated film from Studio 4C (who last produced MINDGAME) is a bit of a bummer. A gorgeously animated version of the famous BLACK & WHITE manga it's a joy to look at but the story is somewhat disappointing. Still, it's nice to see that as far as gob-stopping visuals, far-out character design and lush animation, Studio 4C still has it.
