Featured Film:
A Quiet Passion at the Seven Gables, the Meridian and the Grand
One of our favorite movies of 2016, which Evan wrote about last fall at the Vancouver Film Festival and which we also discussed on the latest episode of The Frances Farmer Show, finally opens here at the Seven Gables and the Meridian and in Tacoma at the Grand. It’s an Emily Dickinson biopic starring Cynthia Nixon and directed by Terence Davies that is simultaneously a classical literary biography and a distinctly Davies kind of film, and somewhat surprisingly, is as bitingly funny as any film released last year. There are a couple of fine Chinese romantic comedies at the Pacific Place in Love Off the Cuff and This Is Not What I Expected, and we haven’t yet made it out to Herman Yau’s Shock Wave or Baahubali 2 (although everyone else seems to have seen it), but I doubt there’s anything better to do in town this week than see A Quiet Passion.
