DESCRIPTION:September 9\nNOMADLAND 2020\; Chloé Zhao\, dir.\; w/ Frances 
 McDormand\, David Strathairn\, Linda May\n\nFrances McDormand won an Acade
 my Award for her portrayal of Fern\, a widow who\, after losing her job in
  the 2008 Great Recession\, sells most of her belongings and leaves her li
 fe in Nevada to drift around the American west in her van looking for work
 .  In addition to McDormand’s Best Actress Oscar\, the film won Best Pi
 cture and Best Director at the Academy Awards. Based on the 2017 nonfictio
 n book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica
  Bruder.\n\n \n\nSeptember 16 SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN\n\n1952\; Gene Kelly 
 & Stanley Donen\, dir.\; Gene Kelly\, Debbie Reynolds\, Jean Hagen\, Donal
 d O'Connor\n\nViewing this giddy\, but somehow slightly malicious\, musica
 l depiction of Hollywood’s transition from silent films to "talkies” i
 n the late 1920s is always time well spent.  Featuring several irresistib
 le\, mind-boggling dance sequences and songs\, as well as standout perform
 ances by the whole cast\, particularly the fully committed\, hilarious por
 trayal of fading silent star Linda Lamont by Jean Hagen. Life can be hard:
  You owe it to yourself to watch SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN.\n\n \n\nSeptember
  23 THE KILLERS\n\n1946\; Robert Siodmak\, dir. w/ Burt Lancaster\, Ava Ga
 rdner\, Edmond O’Brien\n\nA quintessential film in the noir style\, with
  moody\, atmospheric cinematography\, a dangerous femme fatale\, an atmosp
 here of stark fatalism\, unsavory thugs\, a heist\, a double-cross\, a det
 ailed murder investigation…THE KILLERS has it all. The script uses Hemin
 gway’s short story “The Killers” merely as a jumping off point and a
  tension-filled opening scene\, with the rest of the film providing back s
 tory through flashbacks. This was Burt Lancaster’s first film and it mad
 e Ava Gardner a star.\n\n \n\nSeptember 30 HOUSEKEEPING\n\n1987\; Bill Fo
 rsyth\, dir. w/ Christine Lahti\, Sara Walker\, Andrea Burchill\n\nAfter t
 heir mother commits suicide\, two sisters end up living with their kind bu
 t eccentric aunt in their grandmother's old house in a small 1950s town. B
 ased on Marilynne Robinson’s beloved 1980 novel\, and directed by Bill F
 orsyth\, after his excellent LOCAL HERO (1983).
