The Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul's November Lineup

November 5, National Theater Live. From the grand stage of London's National Theatre to our big screen at St. Anthony Main Theatre, The Last of the Haussmans plays Monday, November 5 at 7pm. In one of the most sharp-witted productions that you will see all year, Julie Walters (Harry Potter, Billy Elliott, Mamma Mia!) plays Judy Haussman with Rory Kinnear (National's Hamlet) and Helen McCrory (The Queen, Hugo) as her children in this eagerly-anticipated debut play by actor and first-time playwright Stephen Beresford. In what The Guardian called "self-destructive gaiety," Haussmans is a funny, touching and sometimes savage portrait of a family that's losing its grip. Friday November 2, Civic Cinema begins! Just in time for the elections, we are presenting a series of political films that are sure to spark healthy debate. November 2 thru 8, Janeane from Des Moines. This remarkable new political buzz film, told in an inventive fiction-documentary hybrid style, follows an intrepid conservative Iowa housewife as her personal and political convictions are severely tested when she seeks answers from the Republican presidential candidates leading up to the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. See these incredible encounters with the candidates including Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann. Director Grace Lee and actress Jane Edith Wilson will be present for a Q&A Sunday, November 4 at 7pm! November 2 and 4, Escape Fire. Join us Friday, November 2 at 7pm for a special preview screening of Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, followed by an expert panel discussion (*This screening is selling fast!).
