Let It Rain
@ Real Art Ways
Hartford, CT
$6.25 (with student ID)
“Let It Rain touches on class issues, feminism, immigration and the particular challenges facing a single, driven career woman in her 40s. But it’s graceful in presenting its ideas, and what emerges is not a polemic but a kind of snapshot of modern-day concerns.” – Mark LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Jonah Hill, the generously sized star of Superbad, The 40 year-old Virgin and Knocked Up, gets a chance to expand his acting chops in a seriously creepy black comedy. Hill personifies arrested development as a stuck-in-teendom 20-something, whose perfect life at home with his mom (Marisa Tomei) is threatened when she brings home a goofy boyfriend (John C. Reilly). As Hill describes the challenges of playing the role, “the character has to be heartbreaking, twisted, manipulative, sweet, sad, f***ed up, dark.” Marisa Tomei, whose role in last year’s The Wrestler won her an Academy Award nomination, shows no fear in the improvisation-heavy directing style (called mumblecore) of the cult favorite writer/directors, the Duplass brothers. “A freakishly engrossing black comedy about excessively mothered men and the women who enable them.” Ella Taylor, Village Voice.

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Harper Lee’s well-loved novel by coming to Cinestudio to experience the original 1962 film on the big screen! Horton Foote won an Academy Award for his adaptation of Lee’s semi-autobiographical novel about a young girl named Scout growing up in segregated Alabama of the 1930s. It is when her father, attorney Atticus Finch, takes the case of a young black man falsely charged with raping a white woman, that Scout learns about integrity. A tender and courageous masterpiece with a demand – that everyone is treated equally under the law – that still challenges today. “I put everything I had into it – all my feelings and everything I’d learned in 46 years of living, about fathers and children. And my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity.” – Gregory Peck, winner, Academy Award for Best Actor.
