"I’ll never forget first seeing Lucrecia Martel’s La Ciénaga at the New York Film Festival in 2001. It was one of the most assured first features I’d ever seen, a complex, atmosphere-drenched portrait of a middle-class family barely hanging on during a torpid summer.

A couple other indie selections worth a look include the wonderful OH LUCY at North Park Theatre (check website for listings alongside new documentary Love And Bananas) and the acclaimed Itzhak Perlman showcase Itzhak the Film at Dipson Theatres Amherst.
There's also FINAL PORTRAIT at Dipson Eastern Hills and IMITATION GIRL at the screening room cinema cafe.
