GE Theatre - This movie examines the most turbulent five years in the life of this woman of genius, from her 1905 arrival in Stockholm to be awarded her first Nobel Prize, to 1911, when she overcame hostility and discrimination to receive her second. In French with English subtitles.
GE Theatre - Winner of 8 Oscars, incl. Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a remarkably talented young composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri. Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his talent, the highly religious Salieri is gradually consumed by jealousy and becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall.
GE Theatre -
Equal parts biography and heartland celebration. A portrait of the world as lensed through the works of Wendell Berry, the award-winning poet, essayist, novelist and farmer noted for his environmental activism.
