“When they passed out talent,” Broadway star Carol Channing says of composer and lyricist Jerry Herman, “Jerry<br />
stood in line twice.” Herman rose to acclaim during the 1960s, penning the words and music to some of the greatest<br />
musicals to hit Broadway, including Hello, Dolly! and Mame and the cult fave Mack & Mabel. This charming look at a<br />
true American master takes you backstage through insightful on-camera interviews and brings out rare photographs<br />
and archival footage of the original Broadway cast performances—the film clip alone of a 1964 White House command<br />
performance of Hello, Dolly! is worth the price of admission. It’s a moving portrait of an uncompromising artist who<br />
weathered ups and downs before his triumphant 1983 comeback with La Cage Aux Folles. Critics have dismissed<br />
Herman as a lightweight; you won’t make that mistake after seeing this film. —Greg Cahill<br />

FOCUS: GERMANY • In German with English subtitles • In this superb metaphysical thriller crafted by acclaimed<br />
writer-director Christian Petzold (Wolfsburg), a woman named Yella decides to leave behind a failed marriage and<br />
broken dreams in her small eastern German town for a new life on the other side of the Elbe. In Hanover, she meets<br />
Philipp, a young executive at an equity firm, who hires her as his assistant. Although she has no knowledge of the<br />
world of venture capital, Yella discovers she has a knack with ruthless businessmen, and sees a potential future with<br />
Philipp. As she begins to worry that her new life could be too good to be true, strange voices and sounds suddenly<br />
start to plague her—truths from her past coming back to haunt her. Nina Hoss (Something to Remind Me) won the<br />
Berlin <strong>Film</strong> Fe<strong>stival</strong>’s Silver Bear for best actress for her performance in the title role.<br />

During the 1960s and ’70s in the small central Italian town of Latina, a city created by Mussolini’s Fascist government,<br />
Accio (Elio Germano) is his working-class parents’ despair, irritable and a troublemaker, impulsive and explosive,<br />
fighting every battle like a war. His brother, Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio), is handsome, charismatic, loved by all,<br />
but just as dangerous. The brothers also have opposing political beliefs and are in love with the same woman (Diane<br />
Fleri). Through their endless confrontation, the two live through a period of their lives made up of escaping, returning,<br />
fighting and great passi<strong>ons</strong>. Already a hit in Italy and featured at the Cannes <strong>Film</strong> Fe<strong>stival</strong>, this coming-of-age tale is<br />
also a panoramic snapshot of Latina through time, as fifteen years of Italian history pass through the adventures of<br />
two brothers so different, yet alike.<br />
