This week at Harbor Theater
“Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom” – (NR; 1 hour 49 minutes) Weekday matinee on Wednesday. Nominated for an Oscar for Best International Film of 2021, don't miss this chance to visit a remote area of Bhutan and understand why the country calls itself "the happiest place on earth.” This is the story of Ugyen, a young teacher in the modern capital of Bhutan who shirks his duties while planning his trip to Australia to become a singer. As a reprimand, his superiors send him to the most remote school in the world, in a village called Lunana, to complete his service. There he finds no electricity, no textbooks, not even a blackboard, only a small room where a Yak is tethered (no other place for a school). Only his ability to sing helps him win over his young eager students. He wants to quit... but he begins to learn of the hardship in the lives of these beautiful children and is won over by the amazing spiritual strength of the villagers and the untouched natural beauty of the Himalayan glacier where they live. Wednesday, March 23, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Thursday, March 24, 7 p.m.
“Cyrano” – (PG-13; 2 hours, 4 minutes) - Sunday and Wednesday matinees at 2 p.m. Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her -- meanwhile Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.). Plays Friday, March 25, 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 26, 7 p.m.; Sunday, March 27, 2 p.m.; Wednesday, March 30, 2 and 7 p.m.; Thursday, March 31, 7 p.m.
“The charm and poignancy of the original text survive; Wright’s technical achievements are worth saluting and magnetic Haley Bennett has a lovely singing voice that helps to sock the romantic ballads home. Peter Dinklage once again confirms his charisma, vigor and versatility.” –The Hollywood Reporter
