| THIS WEEK AT THE VILLAGE EAST CINEMA |  | THE ASSAULT now playing French director Julien Leclercq’s (CHRYSALIS) sophomore feature enjoyed a strong response at the Tribeca Film Festival and is a major hit in France. The film relates the true story of the 1994 terrorist hijacking of an Air France flight filled with 227 passengers and witnessed by 21 million television viewers. Weaving together the violent and claustrophobic onboard drama, with backstories of the tough SWAT officer and father Thierry, the determined jihadist from the slums of Algiers, and an over... (More) | |  | BOY now playing Inspired by his Oscar nominated short film, Taika Waititi''s BOY is set in 1984 in a rural community in New Zealand. At the center of the story is eleven year-old Boy, a high-spirited adolescent obsessed with American pop culture and Michael Jackson. When his absent father returns from a stint in prison, Boy discovers a lovable loser instead of the adventurer he imagined. Incorporating dream sequences, fantasies, and animations, the film also boasts three elaborate musical numbers, based on Mich... (More) | |  | GOON now playing Seann William Scott delivers a breakthrough performance in this rowdy, raucous, hilarious and inspiring Canadian ice hockey comedy. He plays Doug Glatt, a lovable lug who works as a nightclub bouncer to the contempt of his pseudo-intellectual family, and his facility with his fists earns him placement as a goon – a player who beats up members of the opposing team in order to protect star players -- on a minor-league ice hockey team. He soon becomes a legendary goon, a status that leads to both g... (More) | |  | DETACHMENT now playing Director Tony Kaye’s (AMERICAN HISTORY X) long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher grappling with a troubled past, who finds himself at a public school with an apathetic student body and a frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone. DETACHMENT features a stellar ensemble cast, including Os... (More) | |  | WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN now playing Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (MICHAEL CLAYTON) is turning heads for her searing portrait of a heedless, career-minded mother coping with her son''s killing spree in suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN. KEVIN is Scottish director Lynne Ramsey''s first film in nine years, and she takes a poetic, compassionate approach to the potentially sensational subject matter. John C. Reilly co-stars as Kevin''s more attentive father, but the film embraces all its characte... (More) | |  | IRON LADY now playing Meryl Streep stars as the first female Prime Minister of the UK, Margaret Thatcher, in this surprising and intimate portrait of one of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, who came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world. After a slew of accolades from international film critics, Streep took home an Oscar and a Golden Globe thanks to a performance that has been called “marvelous” and “the best of the year!” (More) | |  | THE ARTIST now playing Winner of 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and 3 Golden Globes, Michel Hazanavicius’ THE ARTIST is one of the most joyous and clever cinematic experiences in years. A silent film shot entirely in black and white, it follows dashing 1920s silent movie star George Valentin, played by Jean Dujardin in an exquisite Oscar-winning performance. With the arrival of talkies, George’s career starts to fade, while beautiful young actress Peppy Miller’s (Berenic Bejo) star begins... (More) |

| COMING SOON |  | HOW TO GROW A BAND Opens 4/13/2012 At the age of 31, bluegrass/folk music darling Chris Thile might seem young to be the subject of a documentary. A perfectionist prodigy who’s defied expectations since he learned the mandolin at age 5, Thile took an unexpected hiatus from his platinum-selling band, Nickel Creek five years ago, to ruminate about a failed relationship and the compromises sometimes necessary for commercial success. He then reached new heights after forming the Punch Brothers group. Filmed with uncommon access, HOW ... (More) | |  | MY WAY Opens 4/13/2012 Following the success of THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR and SWIRI, Korean filmmaker Kang Je–kyu’s global breakout hit MY WAY is being praised for its striking realism and emotional storytelling. The World War II drama has the most lavish budget of any film in Korean history, sparing no expense for the epic battle scenes and intense human drama. The film follows two fiercely competitive marathon runners who become reluctant allies when war breaks out. In a Soviet prison camp, the longtime riv... (More) | |  | UNRAVELED Opens 4/13/2012 With a subject matter that is alternately moving and infuriating, this documentary is never less than riveting. A lesser-known scam artist than Bernie Madoff but almost equally nefarious, Marc Drier was a highly successful New York attorney and philanthropist who falsified documents and even impersonated his clients to the tune of $470 million. UNRAVELED was directed by Marc Simon, a filmmaker, sometime actor and former member of Drier''s law firm. The interviews between the two Marcs were held ...
