The Harbor Theatre

In “My Old Lady,” Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline) is a down-on-his-luck New Yorker who inherits a Parisian apartment, but when he arrives in France to sell the vast domicile, he's shocked to discover a live-in tenant who is not prepared to budge.

His apartment is part of a viager — an ancient French real estate system with complex rules pertaining to its resale — and the feisty Englishwoman Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith), who has lived in the apartment with her daughter Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas) for many years, can by contract collect monthly payments from Mathias until her death. “My Old Lady” is rated PG-13 and plays Wednesday, Oct. 15 and Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m.

“Gone Girl,” directed by David Fincher, unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick's portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?

Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan describes “Gone Girl” as "superbly cast from the two at the top to the smallest speaking parts, impeccably directed by Fincher and crafted by his regular team to within an inch of its life, ‘Gone Girl’ shows the remarkable things that can happen when filmmaker and material are this well matched."

“Gone Girl” is rated R and plays at 7 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 17, Saturday, Oct. 18, Wednesday, Oct. 22 and Thursday, Oct. 23; at 3 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19.
