A Soap
Saturday, January 26
8 p.m., Rich Theatre
A Soap is a sly tragicomedy from director Pernille Fischer Christensen. As Stephen Holden remarked in his New York Times review, the film is “an anti-soap opera” about two people who “rescue each other from harm, and whose mutual acts of generosity seal a friendship deepened by their shared loneliness.” (Denmark/Sweden, 2006, 104 minutes.) In Danish with subtitles. This film is not appropriate for children.

The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar is recommended for children eight and older who can read subtitles. (Denmark, 2006, 85 minutes.) In Danish with subtitles.
