Thriller and comedy to open at the Ross
The thriller "Cachè" and comedy "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic," open March 3 at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.
In "Cachè," writer/director Michael Haneke enters the seemingly perfect life of George and Anne, a bourgeois Parisian couple who live in a comfortable home with their adolescent son. But, when an anonymous videotape turns up on their doorstep, showing their house under surveillance from across the street, their calm life begins to spiral out of control.
Subsequent tapes arrive, accompanied by mysterious drawings and, gradually, George becomes convinced that he's being tormented by a figure from his past. But when he confronts him, the man assures George he is innocent.
A growing sense of guilt begins to rise in George as he recalls his less-than-angelic childhood. Yet for some reason he's unable to be completely honest with Anne. Soon, their happy home is an emotional battleground, leading to a ferocious climax.
A menacing work, "Cachè" won the Best Director award at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
The fearless comedic act of Sarah Silverman is featured in "Jesus is Magic." is coming to the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.
The film chronicles a 2004 show by Sarah Silverman. The show also includes off-set skits, songs and general goofing around from Silverman and her friends in the comedy world.
As Silverman takes on race, sex, class, 9/11, rape, the Holocaust - no topic is considered untouchable for the seemingly fearless comedienne.
"Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic," (not rated) and "Cachè" show at the Ross through March 16.
