1946) Lorch 8:30
This week's second feature in

DePalma tries his hand at the now

This true story of an incident where
a platoon of soldiers kidnaps and

HEATHERS (Michael Lehmann,
1989) Mich Th. 7:15 & 11:30

SATURDAY
THE MIRROR (Andrei

Tarkovsky's looking glass is
not merely cracked but shattered, as
we see the jagged, jumbled reflec-

mingled with slow motion, dream
sequences and poetic chunks of
stark newsreels. Starring Oleg
Yankovsky and Margarita
Terekhova, the film has Russian di-
alog with English subtitles.
BLACK ORPHEUS (Marcel Ca-
mus, 1959) MLB 3 7:00 & 9:00
