Tea with Mussolini




Another fantastic World War II based film with an incredible cast;
Cher, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Lily Tomlin, and
more.

A more sedate --yet still disturbing--take on the war, from the
more upscale, feminine side of things.

Equal parts chick flick and fantasy, it's still an engaging and
heartening film about friendship and life.

Hedwig and the Angry inch



This is the trippy, crazed, freedom fighting beauty of a rock musical that
made John Cameron Mitchell a star!

Done with the kind of ongoing intimate intensity that only comes from a work
written, produced by, and starring a creative genius, Hedwig is the gender-bending
(and shattering) exploration of love, sex, fame, and rock and roll throughout
America.

The raucous, unpredictable, and raunchy tale is funny, moving, and wildly
entertaining with a slew of original and phenomenal songs. John Cameron
Mitchell has a sound, a look, and a vision that are truly unique, and this
is his--and co writer Stephen Trask's-- story.
