This week at the Lincoln Theater
"We Live In Time" - (R; 1 hour, 48 minutes) - Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives. Through snapshots of their life together — falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family — a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken, in filmmaker John Crowley’s decade-spanning, deeply moving romance. Final show Thursday, Dec. 12 at 2 p.m.
"Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers" - Exhibition On Screen - (1 hour, 30 minutes) - 200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, it explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Playing Thursday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets: $15/adult, $13/ member, and $5/youth ages 18 and under.
