Tonight at my house, starting 9:30ish.
Yi Yi (Mandarin, drama)
Among movie critics' highest-rated foreign films of 2000, Yi Yi chronicles three generations of a Taiwanese family mired in a crisis of self-doubt. A chance meeting with a former lover compels a father to question the assumptions on which his life is based. Warm and thoughtful, Yi Yi posits that truth is something we may never know.
Dark Days (English, documentary)
Marc Singer focuses his camera on a group of homeless people who live deep underground in an abandoned New York City railroad tunnel. By day, they scavenge for food on the mean streets of Manhattan. At night, they retreat to the tunnel, where they've built huts out of scrap metal, plastic and plywood. Amazingly, they have electricity, furniture, working kitchens and a sense of community many surface dwellers would envy.
Baraka (English, documentary)
The relationship between humans and their environment is the subject of this mesmerizing visual study from Ron Fricke, the cinematographer and editor of Koyaanisqatsi. The images -- which Fricke gathered from 24 countries -- range from the daily devotions of Tibetan monks and whirling dervishes to a cigarette factory and time-lapse views of the Hong Kong skyline. Diverse world music accompanies the visuals.
Sponge candy?
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, orange chocolate.
We're gonna have it all, and it's gonna be great.
