MOVIE NIGHT Friday, July 24th at 7 PM Come on out Friday, July 24, at 7:00 PM, to view an extraordinary Russian film on our big screen. The film "12" reconfigures "12 Angry Men" for contemporary Russia, adopting the basic premise of that legendary American film while grounding it in Russia's current condition. The 12 jurors meet to decide the fate of a Chechen boy accused of murdering his adoptive father, a former Russian military officer. They want to come to a quick guilty verdict and go home—except for one, who insists upon careful deliberation. Woven into their deliberations are the jurors' various narratives, revealing the physical and ethical decay of both Russian individuals and the nation.
In Russian with subtitles. Rating: PG-13. Run time: 159 min. Four stars. Review from Slant Magazine.
