Just happened to look in the window for films playing while we were attending the International Jazz Festival downtown. Am I glad we did! There was one playing in 4 minutes -- La Promesse, a foreign film about a boy and his father housing and employing undocumented workers and a fatal tragedy that ensues causing moral dilemmas for the boy.
Loved the film -- I could tell I loved it by it being 2 days later and I'm still thinking about it.
The venue -- I love it, too. I still wish they had drink holders as I did in my original review several years ago, but, I can deal with that. It's an old theater but I love old theaters and the history of them. And I love that this one plays lots of indie and foreign films.
I remember in my original journey here not really knowing much about public transit here. Now, I'm in the know and this theater is right across the street from the Wood street "T" station. I recommend parking in the 1st ave garage (accessible from 2nd ave exit off I-376). Then take the "T" from this garage to the Wood street exit for free and pay 5.00 in the garage on your way out.
