The Library’s film program is back with a trio of recent films in which deception, danger, and multiple motives abound. In two of the films, master directors tease out gripping narratives filled with intrigue, while the third is a documentary that has more secrecy, mystery, and tension than most fictional thrillers. Resource guides provided.

The Ghost Writer (128min/PG-13/2010)
Friday, October 15, 2 & 6:30 PM
Nothing is quite what it seems in this deft conspiracy thriller, cannily directed by the controversial Roman Polanski. A sly satire of modern politics, featuring an impeccable cast, this gripping film sets up some truly haunting moments in a manner that would have pleased the great Hitchcock.

Shutter Island (137min/R/2010)
Friday, November 5, 2 & 6:30 PM
A brooding psychological jigsaw directed with panache by the legendary Martin Scorsese. Shutter Island lets Leonardo DiCaprio loose inside a 1950’s insane asylum and never looks back. Chock full of film noir touches, dizzying twists, and powerful suspense.

The Cove (96min/PG-13/2009)
Friday, November 19, 2 & 6:30 PM
Secrecy and deception can also be a force for good. Risking their lives to capture covert footage of the rumored slaughter of dolphins in Japan, the Oscar-winning filmmakers behind The Cove take you on their heartstopping quest for evidence and justice. A brave, breathtaking film.
