Upcoming Movies

How to Cook Your Life

(Germany, 2007, Doris Dörrie, 89 min.), English w/ German subtitles

Date: Wednesday, March 5

Time: 7:00pm

The movie is a cheerful, life-affirming documentary about the charismatic Zen Master Edward Brown, whose mixture of culinary arts and Zen philosophy manages to nourish both body and soul - and Brown wouldn’t think of prioritizing one above the other. A tasteful reminder that eating is more than merely food intake according to that age-old saying, “you are what you eat”.

 

Nackt

Germany, 2002, Doris Dörrie, 100 min., German only

Date: Wednesday, March 12

Time: 7:00pm

Three couples who have known each other for years meet at a dinner party. Each couple is in a different stage of their relationship: already split up, unhappy but rich, poor but apparently happy. Beginning with the simple question if partners are interchangeable, the evening leads to an experiment with disillusioning effects.
