Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA is the new film from Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the celebrated director of DISTANT and CLIMATES.

In the dead of night, a group of men – among them, a police commissioner, a prosecutor, a doctor and a murder suspect – drive through the Anatolian countryside, the serpentine roads and rolling hills lit only by the headlights of their cars. They are searching for a corpse, the victim of a brutal murder. The suspect, who claims he was drunk, can’t remember where he buried the body. As night wears on, details about the murder emerge and the investigators’ own secrets come to light. In the Anatolian steppes nothing is what it seems; and when the body is found, the real questions begin.

Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Starring Muhammet Uzuner, Yilmaz Erdogan and Taner Birsel
Turkish w/English subtitles
157 min, blu-ray

“Both beautiful and beautifully observed, with a delicate touch and flashes of humor and horror.” -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

CARNAGE is a razor sharp, biting comedy centered on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on the playground, the parents of the “victim” invite the parents of the “bully” over to work out their issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colors. None of them will escape the carnage.

Directed by Roman Polanski
Starring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly
80 min, DCP

“A cozily evil little play, by way of Polanski.” -Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer

LATE NIGHT MOVIES AT BIJOU CINEMA!

Mikey Walsh and Brandon Walsh are brothers whose family is preparing to move because developers want to build a golf course in the place of their neighborhood — unless enough money is raised to stop the construction of the golf course, and that’s quite doubtful. But when Mikey stumbles upon a treasure map of the famed “One-Eyed” Willy’s hidden fortune, Mikey, Brandon, and their friends Lawrence “Chunk” Cohen, Clark “Mouth” Devereaux, Andrea “Andy” Carmichael, Stefanie “Stef” Steinbrenner, and Richard “Data” Wang, calling themselves The Goonies, set out on a quest to find the treasure in hopes of saving their neighborhood. The treasure is in a cavern, but the entrance to the cavern is under the house of evil thief Mama Fratelli and her sons Jake Fratelli, Francis Fratelli, and the severely disfigured Lotney “Sloth” Fratelli. Sloth befriends the Goonies and decides to help them.

Directed by Richard Donner
