Fat Girl (À ma sœur !)
French auteuriste Catherine Breillat has carved a dark niche in the film world as the uncontested queen of brutally honest sexuality, and 2001's Fat Girl pushed enough boundaries -- and enough audience buttons -- to warrant the film's reputation as a shocking masterpiece of provocation.

Dir. Catherine Breillat, 2001, 35mm, 86 min.

THEATRE

Picasso at the Lapin Agile
This long running Off-Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism.

Steve Martin plays fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the century's achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness.
