This is low-key a pretty great week for local rep theaters. Catch up on Kon Ichikawa or Wong Kar-wai or Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich. Mourn David Lynch or Val Kilmer. Born Yesterday? The Umbrellas of Cherbourg? All good stuff. Also this week, Public Functionary begins a three-weekend event called Open Screen: The Forum, a series of screenings and talks from "image-makers."And down below, I've got reviews of two new movies for ya: the great Misericordia and the better-than-you-heard The Shrouds.
