mpls movie screenings: week of may 31

I just completed a move to a new apartment, which is exciting but also means no internet for a week.  Horrible, I know.

•Tuesday
Rubber @ Trylon; 7:00 & 9:00 (Trylon Premiere Tuesdays).  At first glance, this looks like a Trash Film showing, but you'd be wrong to think that.  This French film follows a tire with telepathic powers wreaking havoc on a dessert town.  Apparently this got negative reviews at Cannes... snooty French.  But the soundtrack includes members of the the Ed Banger team, leading them to sell the DVD and soundtrack on its website before its release next Tuesday.

•Wednesday
Wasted on the Young @ Trylon; 7:00 & 9:00 (also showing Thursday).  The 7pm times are sold out, but you can check this local feature at the 9pm time slot if you so desire.  The movie seems to be about a lot things, so please check out their website (which is really well done, by the way).  They shot the whole things on VHS and is available for digital download after the last screening for 99 cents.
Tree of Life @ Walker; 7:30.  As part of their Terrance Malick retrospective, the Walker is showing is brand new film Tree of Life, which was released in New York and LA last Friday.  The film, which had been heavily sought after by Cannes for their last year festival, recently awarded it the Palme d'Or at this year's fest.  If I had to guess, I'd say part of the reason for its showing here before it's scheduled Minnesota release  is due in part to it being produced by Bill Pohlad.  Also, if you ain't got a ticket, you ain't watching it this Wednesday cause it's sold out.

Also, the Heights is closed this week while they work on the roof.  Should be open again this Friday.  Good luck with the work, gents!
