CURRENT

Tex/Czech Kolaches: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Forget Jason Bourne’s death defying chases, or James Bond’s wit and savior faire. As in real life, the significant events in this classic espionage film are in muted greys, shadows gliding past us without revealing their true significance.

RAINY DAY RENTALS

Cuban Roast Pig: The Good Shepherd
The gray everyday grind of the CIA’s early years are as far away from the sexy glamour of James Bond as fact from fiction. Not everyone is going to enjoy this glimpse at a shadowy world of suspicion that slowly erodes the soul.

CLASSIC & CRIME

Schnitzel with Lemon-Caper Cream: The Lives of Others
Rarely has there been such a perfect film, and increasingly rarer yet, one that Hollywood has had the good sense to recognize. Though it is interlaced with references to the plays of Bertolt Brecht and the music of Beethoven, to me this exquisite German film shines with the spare beauty of a Petrarchan sonnet.
