July 22-28
Take a deep breath: It’s finally time to laugh along with SF-reared Full Grown Men, the independent film that, 10 years in the making, beat the odds to make it to the big screen. It opens Friday at the Lumiere, and its unique sense of humor—do the names Amy Sedaris, Alan Cumming, and Debbie Harry, all in character parts, offer a hint?—promises poignant, off-kilter comic relief. Friday, the SFFS Screen at the Sundance Kabuki opens Aditya Assarat’s Wonderful Town, a film that not only inspired Andrew O’Hehir to write, in Salon, that Assarat is "both a patient and surprising director," but stirred Greencine Daily into spirited critical debate, the kind we weren’t sure existed anywhere anymore. Thursday at the Castro, the Sydney Pollack tribute gives way to the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, now in its 28th year, unbelievably, and as impressively spry as ever. Look for coverage, including the interview with the festival directors already posted on SF360.org, as well as critical insight into the 70-film program coming later this week.
