DESCRIPTION:Join us at 7:30 p.m. Monday\, September 23\, for a free advance
  screening of "A Different Man\," the story of a man who undergoes facial 
 reconstructive surgery\, then becomes fixated on an actor in a stage produ
 ction based on his former life.\n\n \n\nA DIFFERENT MAN | 2024 | WRITER-DI
 RECTOR: Aaron Schimberg | WITH: Sebastian Stan\, Adam Pearson\, Renate Rei
 nsve\, Miles G. Jackson | RUNNING TIME: 1 HOUR 52 MINUTES | RATED R for se
 xual content\, graphic nudity\, language and some violence | PROJECTED IN 
 4K DCP FORMAT\n\n \n\nAspiring actor Edward undergoes a radical medical pr
 ocedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face qu
 ickly turns into a nightmare\, as he loses out on the role he was born to 
 play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\
 n \n\n"It’s tempting to interpret “A Different Man” as a dark and da
 mning satire of our social conditioning\, which has convinced us to see as
 ymmetry as ugliness\, and internalize ugliness as inhuman. But while that 
 might be a more accurate distillation of what Schimberg is doing here\, le
 aving it there would fail to convey the full ambition of a deliriously sur
 real psycho-thriller that complicates its own identity at every turn.\n\n 
 \n\n"By refracting Brian De Palma’s self-reflexiveness and the Coen brot
 hers’ mordant fatalism through the prism of his most personal obsessions
 \, Schimberg creates a house of mirrors so brilliant and complex that it b
 ecomes impossible to match any of his characters to their own reflections\
 , and absolutely useless to reduce the movie around them to the stuff of m
 oral instruction." -- David Ehrlich\, IndieWire\n\n \n\nAdmission is FREE 
 but registration required at link above.
