"film club" of sorts with the audience
invited to stay after the film to discuss
the movie. No need to join anything.
Hosted by the Newburyport Film
Society, the people who run the Docu-
Mentary Film Fest. It will be fun.
YOUNG VICTORIA
106 m., PG, Scope, Apparition, Technicolor
Emily Blunt gives us not the dour, elderly queen of popular lore but the vivacious young Victoria in her prime. For this she got this year's Best Actress at the Golden Globes and is a likely Oscar nominee. She caries the movie on what one critic called "her lovely shoulders."

"Visually pulsating!" Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. "Utterly irresistible!" David Edelstein, New York Magazine. It's Pedron almodovar's film starring Penelope Cruz as a femme fatale of several names and masks. The plot is absolutely Hitchcockian.

CRAZY HEART
112 m., R, Scope, Fox Searchlight, Theatrical Film
Set in some of the most picturesque parts of the out-of-the-way American, modern-day West. Jeff Bridges, in perhaps the role of his career, plays a wayward, aging country singer. His performance "flickered and smoldered with with such craft and resilience." (A.O. Scott, NY Times) It's a drama of second chances and missed opportunities.

A documentary called "Impressive, bracing and majestic" by Anthony Lane of the New Yorker and "astonishingly beautiful" by Manohla Dargis in the NY Times. It's men in cowboy hats shepherding and sometimes losing 3,000 sheep. Not quiet but cantankerous they are, the men and the sheep. It's buzzing, beautiful confusion.You must listen to the people and the animals.
