Opening The Week of Oct 24th
Fall sees the arrival of quality films. Clint Eastwood’s latest “Changeling” shows the director in top form playing with the audience’s emotions while engaging the eyes with the beauty of a period piece. John Malkovich and Angelina Jolie are fantastic!
Cinematheque Ontario season begins with a David Lean series. A MUST-Seah!

David Lean at the Cinematheque Ontario
When I think of British director David Lean, I recall the epics he made during my impressionable years at the cinema. It was the 60’s and 70’s when his greatest and most lavish productions “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Doctor Zhivago”, “The Bridge on the River Kwai”, and even the less successful “Ryan’s Daughter” stunned and astounded audiences around the world. To me, I always looked upon a new Lean film as an event – and one that I would look forward to.
