It's another big week at the Cinematheque!Opening Friday, July 24, Munyurangabo is an exquisite, deeply moving feature from Korean-American filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung (which he developed and shot in Rwanda as part of a filmmaking class he taught there) that paints a sensitive portrayal of two friends of different ethnic backgrounds struggling with the legacy of the genocide that devastated their country.
"The finest and truest film yet on the moral and emotional repercussions of the 15-year-old genocide that wracked Rwanda"
-Variety
RECOMMENDED! A taut, atmospheric drama" -Chicago Reader
Munyurangabo runs Friday, July 25 - Thursday, July 30. For additional info, showtimes, tickets and more, click here.
On Saturday, July 25, blood, guts and kung-fu hit Facets Night School as Facets staffer Lew Ojeda dissects one of the most violent, gory martial arts films ever made--Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky!
"If you can handle the torrent of grisly violence, you'll find yourself royally entertained" -Chicago Reader
The trailer is tame in comparison to the film itself, but interesting nonetheless!
