Man on Wire
James Marsh’s documentary about tightrope walker, Philippe Petit’s daring, but illegal, high-wire dance between the towers of the World Trade Center in 1974, is like found poetry; beautiful, charming, and what some consider “the artistic crime of the century.” UK, 2008.  102 minutes.  Not Rated.

Doubt
John Patrick Shanley’s screen adaptation of his stage play set at a Catholic school in 1964, stars Meryl Streep as a distrustful nun who grows suspicious when a priest, Philip Seymour-Hoffman, begins to take too much interest in the life of a young black student.  Great performances by all four leads.  US 2008.  104 minutes.  Rated PG 13.

PLEASE NOTE; We are again fortunate to have Greg Jones, our discussion leader
from last fall’s film, Babette’s Feast, lead a discussion of this film, so we hope
you will join us for what is certain to be a lively talk after the show.
