"In October 1970 the Canadian government passed an ordinance which suspended the civil rights of the Québec people in order to infiltrate the actions of the FLQ, the left-wing separatist group responsible for a series of bombings. Michel Braults impassioned docudrama reenactment was a crowning achievement in the directors prolific career."

"Hot Fuzz" - Mar 25th
Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Mar 25th at 5:30pm for Hot Fuzz at the Brattle Theatre . Look for Sean wearing a nametag outside of theatre after the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
There are some special things to be aware of regarding this weeks film:
1) As I mentioned a few weeks ago, both on the mailing list and the club webpage, this is a special free screening. If you don't already have a pass to get into the screening, more information on how to get one is available from the Brattle Theatre as well as the SNFC homepage.
2) A screening pass does not guarantee you a seat in the theatre, and seating is first-come, first-served. This is a "hot ticket", so it would be wise to arrive quite early.
3) I won't be saving a place in line for anyone, that wouldn't be fair to the people who showed up early. No exceptions.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop a line.
"Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright - the makers of Shaun of the Dead - are back together for a fabulously funny and fast-paced action-comedy. Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, a top London cop who's so good that he makes his fellow officers look bad. Banished to a sleepy, seemingly crime-free village Angel soon finds himself up to his badge in bodies, though he has a hard time convincing his new colleagues that they're dealing with murder. The style of a Hollywood action-thriller is crossed with the sensibility of the team's enduringly popular TV series Spaced, creating a sharp, surprising and endlessly entertaining comedy. - notes from the ICA, London"

"The talk of the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival, the newest thriller from director/co-writer Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder) utilizes state-of-the-art special effects to tell a tale that's equal parts creature-feature thrill ride, comedy and poignant human drama. The idyllic landscape of the Han River suddenly turns to bedlam as a terrifying creature climbs out of the water and grabs Hyun-seo (Ko A-sung) from her father Gang-du (Song Kang-ho). The government announces that the creature is the host of an unidentified virus. Despite fearing the worst, Gang-du makes plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the beast."

ANNOUNCEMENT: Hot Fuzztival
This announcement is a bit earlier than your usual SNFC fare, but you need to act quickly, so I figured the sooner the better!
The Brattle Theatre is running a "super cop" film festival called the Hot Fuzztival, in honor of the upcoming release of Hot Fuzz (the new comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead). The highlight of the festival is a preview screening of Hot Fuzz on Sunday, March 25th, one month before it is released here in the states. Creators Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg will be in person.
The trick is, in order to get a pass to this screening, you need to buy a ticket to one of the other films in the Hot Fuzztival in advance. If you bring a print out of the order to the box office on or after March 16th, you will get a free pass to see Hot Fuzz. While this is a little unorthodox, it's the only way to get a pass for the screening. More details can be found at the Hot Fuzztival Page.
Obviously, I am telling you all this for a reason. The SNFC film for Sunday, March 25th, will be Hot Fuzz. If you are interested, you should jump through these hoops and get yourself a ticket!

"300" - Mar 11th

This might be a popular film, so it's probably a good idea to pre-order tickets over at Fandango.
"In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes, and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy. Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City) and Lynn Varley."
