Wed 28 Oct, 7 pm. Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Nikita Mikhalkov 2007 Russia 2hrs. 39min. Moderator and Filmmaker: Andrzej Krakowski This is Mikhalkov’s (Burnt by the Sun) gripping remake of Sidney Lumet’s “12 Angry Men.” Starring renowned Russian actor Sergei Makovetsky, this film is about a young Chechen youth who is put on trial for the murder of his stepfather. It is up to a room full of jurors divided by racism and prejudice to determine the boy’s ultimate fate. As they deliberate and begin to realize that their decision will forever change the course of another person’s life, the tide of opinion slowly turns. A brilliant look at fear, trust and the triumph of human nature. Tickets: $11 /$9 seniors & students, unless otherwise noted.
