225 Hay Street Fayetteville North Carolina 28301 (910.486.6633) Fayetteville's Alternative Cinematic Experience
“Think of Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant and Nicolas Cage’s Oscar-wining role in Leaving Las Vegas, strip away the plots and especially the pious suffering of both, and you have a showcase for a gleeful, hell-bent Cage—a dedicated, brave, extortionist, thieving, hallucinating, wisecracking badge-bullying corrupt cop with multiple drug habits—to pull out all the stops. Werner Herzog’s direction combines unpredictable pacing and an eye for the detail of interiors in post-Katrina New Orleans with a flawless sense of the timing inherent in American humor; the result is a movie that never apologizes. With Eva Mendes, Brad Dourif, Val Kilmer, and two of the most addled iguanas in screen history.” (Greil Marcus, Telluride Film Festival) Terence McDonagh is a drug- and gambling-addled detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating the killing of five Senegalese immigrants.

FINAL SHOWS
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer (Colin Firth), a 52-year-old British college professor who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his longtime partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley (Julianne Moore), a 48-year-old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George's, Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit. A Single Man is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life. Directed and co-written by acclaimed fashion designer Tom Ford (making his feature debut), based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood.
