THIS WEEK (& BEYOND) AT THE NARO

Napoleon
A spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte’s relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed. (R, 2h 38m)
“Scott brings his A game. The film is a gripping, often delightfully lairy slab of pop history, made with mischief, flash and meticulous craft.” – Danny Leigh, Financial Times
“Scott has created an outrageously enjoyable cavalry charge of a movie, a full-tilt biopic of two and a half hours in which Scott doesn’t allow his troops to get bogged down mid-gallop in the muddy terrain of either fact or metaphysical significance.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

The Holdovers
Opens Friday, December 8th!
From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, The Holdovers follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). (R, 2h 13m)
“Paul Giamatti is absolute perfection as a Grinchy teacher who learns a hard lesson in empathy over a winter school break. All the actors shine in this exuberant movie gift from director Alexander Payne that has all the makings of a new holiday classic.” – Peter Travers, ABC News
“It’s the warmest cinematic experience you’ll have all year. “ – Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post
“Funny and rueful, The Holdovers seems beamed in from another time in cinema history, when wordy and thoughtful little movies like this were in healthier supply.” – Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair

Maestro
Opens Friday, December 15th – Limited Engagement!
A towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. A love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love. Bradley Cooper directed and stars as the iconic conductor. Carey Mulligan portrays his wife. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this critically acclaimed art film on the big screen with full digital surround sound featuring live performances by the London Symphony Orchestra recorded especially for this film. (2h 9m)
“Maestro is the closest thing to perfection I’ve seen on the screen in a very long time.” – Rex Reed, Observer
“Engrave an Oscar for Bradley Cooper for his heart-full-to-bursting tour de force as Leonard Bernstein. Alive with glorious music, the film resonates with the love the bisexual legend feels for the wife (a sublime Carey Mulligan) who lives with his demons.” – Peter Travers, ABC News
“This is not just a worthy tribute to one of the greatest figures in the American musical canon, but also one of the finest films of the year.” – Marlow Stern, Rolling Stone

The Boys in the Boat
Opens Christmas Day!
A sports drama based on the #1 New York Times bestselling non-fiction novel written by Daniel James Brown. The film, directed by George Clooney, is about the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. This inspirational true story follows a group of underdogs at the height of the Great Depression as they are thrust into the spotlight and take on elite rivals from around the world. (PG-13)
Advance tickets on-sale soon!

Festive Features
December 2nd -24th!
In addition to our line up of new theatrical releases, we’ve put together a “Festive Features” series of popular seasonal classics for December, including our perennial audience favorite It’s A Wonderful Life showing as a double-feature with White Christmas. Check out the complete series here!

A Christmas Story 40th Anniversary
Sunday, December 10th at 4pm and 7pm!
Wednesday, December 13th at 7PM!
There’s never been a Yuletide movie as funny as this 1983 Bob Clark classic. Based on humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the 1940s, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash, the story is full of wonderful glimmers of nostalgia unhampered by sentimentality. With Peter Billingsley and Darren McGavin. (PG, 95 mins)
SPECIAL NOTE: We are pleased to announce our annual showing of A Christmas Story, 40th Anniversary Edition! For over 40 seasons the Naro Cinema has brought the community this classic holiday treat. This year, we are fortunate enough to be included as one of the theaters showing it as a Fathom Event; as such we are not able to bring it to our audience as a double feature. We hope you can join us for one of the three showings of A Christmas Story we have scheduled leading up to Christmas. Rest assured that we are keeping our holiday movie tradition alive with this and other beloved films!

Die Hard
Friday, December 8th at 9:15pm!
Enjoy some holiday excitement watching this iconic thriller starring Bruce Willis as a NYPD officer trying to save his wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and others taken hostage at a Christmas party by a band of terrorists led by the late great actor Alan Rickman. Die Hard won two Academy Awards (Best Sound, Best Film Editing) and was a nominee for two more for visual and sound effects. (1988, R, 132m)

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo), and children as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark’s employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs. (1989, PG-13, 87mins)
