Chinese Take-Away

“The language of friendship is not words but meaning.” - Henry David Thoreau 

Our feature film for March, Chinese Take-Away, is a gripping story about a unique connection between two men from completely different worlds — and completely different languages. Roberto is the disgruntled and methodic owner of a Buenos Aires hardware store; Jun is a mysterious Chinese man looking for his uncle, and appears in Roberto’s life in the most unlikely of ways. Unable to communicate, a tattoo on Jun’s arm reveals a clue to his past. What transpires is the search to uncover the mysteries behind Jun’s presence in Argentina. 

An Argentinean box office hit and rated four stars by Roger Ebert, Chinese Take-Away is a comedic study of language, misunderstanding, communication and happenstance. Beautifully composed and rich in nuanced comic touches, this poignant film won the Audience Award at the 2011 Rome Film Fest.

A delightful love story between two who have nothing in common. Except the mystery of the parrot. And they challenge each other's perception of themselves and their world as they are compelled to ask each other questions about their past. And their future. We learn the benefits, and the pitfalls, of living with, and without, a past. How will you shape your future?

Shuffle

February 10, 2013 5 – 7 PM

A complex and engrossing film about the choices we make as our lives unfold. We must confront birth, death, and countless smaller circumstances. In “Shuffle,” in the spirit of both “Memento” and “It's a Wonderful Life,” we encounter a man who suddenly begins to experience his life out of sequence. He slowly percieves that there is a message, a lesson, a gift. His biggest challenge is at the same time his best opportunity.
