One of the joys of going to the movies is to escape and marvel in unknown and unfamiliar worlds – to take a break from the tribulations of daily life and get lost in wonder. The Truffle Hunters does just that. As Variety notes, it is “A scrumptious cinematic journey. Try not to fall hard for the joy it spreads.”
“French Exit” - (R; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - 60-year-old penniless Manhattan socialite Frances Price (Michelle Pfeiffer) has been living off her inheritance for 12 years. With the vast inheritance now gone, she cashes in the last of her possessions and resolves to live out her twilight days anonymously in a borrowed apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm (Lucas Hedges) and a cat named Small Frank – who may or may not embody the spirit of Frances’s dead husband (Tracy Letts). Final screenings at 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 5 and Thursday, May 6.
