FILM: Rehoboth Beach Film
Society’s Monthly Screening featuring "12," 7pm in the upstairs
screening room at the Movies at Midway. Following the
screening, Film Society member and volunteer Mike Shawen will
lead a discussion about the story of 12 Angry Men and this
Russian interpretation. Mr. Shawen holds a master's degree in
film and spends his days broadening the minds of youngsters as a
teacher in the Baltimore area. Monthly screenings are $2.00 for
card-carrying RBFS members; and $4.00 for non-members. For more
information on this series, other events, or to become a member,
visit www.rehobothfilm.com
or call 645-9095. FILM
INFO: This 2008 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar® nominee is
a Russian remake of the American classic 12 Angry Men. The basic
plot points are the same; twelve jurors must decide the fate of
a Chechen teenager accused of murder, and while the case seems
simple, one man takes a stand against the other eleven with his
vote of “not guilty” igniting a discussion about the guilt of
the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. Included in this jury are
a racist taxi-driver, a suspicious doctor, a vacillating TV
producer, a Holocaust survivor, a flamboyant musician, a
cemetery manager, and others who represent the fragmented
society of modern day Russia. What unfolds during the jurors’
discussion is the story not only of the accused and his
circumstances, but also of the jurors’ own back stories,
preconceptions, and prejudices. [2007, Runtime: 159 min., Rated
PG-13] |
