This week at Harbor Theater
“The Truffle Hunters” - (PG-13, 1 hour, 24 minutes) -In Italian with English subtitles - Final screenings! Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw follow a group of determined old men, and their profoundly committed dogs, as they contend with their aging bodies and the vagaries of the wild to discover the most delicious, and priceless, truffles,, hidden deep within the forests of Piedmont, Italy. Last chances at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10 and Thursday, Nov. 11.
“The Lost Leonardo” – (PG-13; 1 hour 30 minutes) - The inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million, claimed to be a long-lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. From the moment it is purchased from a shady New Orleans auction house, and its buyers discover masterful brushstrokes beneath its cheap restoration, the fate of the Salvator Mundi is driven by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. But as its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity. Is this multi-million dollar painting actually by Leonardo -- or do certain power players simply want it to be? Unraveling the hidden agendas of the world's richest men and most powerful art institutions, “The Lost Leonardo” reveals how vested interests became all-important, and the truth secondary. Two showings at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12 and Saturday, Nov. 13.
“Spencer” – (R; 1 hour 51 minutes) - “Spencer” is more experimental than other Princess Diana biopics, and rests squarely on Kristen Stewart’s Oscar-worthy performance. Working with Director Pablo Lorrain, she got into the head and heart of Diana, portraying more of her emotional side, dealing with the rituals and restrictions of the Royal Family, while ignoring her wandering husband and holding tight to her beloved two boys. Screening at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12; Saturday, Nov. 13; Wednesday, Nov. 17 and Thursday, Nov. 18; Sunday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m.
Wrote a reviewer for Vanity Fair: “The film depicts Diana on the brink of breakdown during her final royal Christmas before separating from Charles—a 72-hour pressure cooker of family tensions and antiquated rituals preserved from Queen Victoria’s era...from the moment that the Windsors arrive at Sandringham, guests are forever donning new formal dress ensembles for a never-ending procession of rich meals—a nightmare for Diana in the ’90s as she battled bulimia, emotional issues, and self-harm. Spencer’s Diana, manipulated and surveilled by the queen’s staff 24/7, teeters on the edge of mania and rebellion.”
Coming Nov. 19 - “Michelangelo: Love and Death” - Exhibition on Screen - The film explores the life and work of the renowned sculptor, painter, architect and poet. The film offers a cinematic journey through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican, to the print and drawing rooms of Europe, to explore Michelangelo's tempestuous life. “The French Dispatch” – (R) run time is 1 hour 47 minutes. Wes Anderson’s latest romp is a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in "The French Dispatch."
