Arthur Magazinehosts a double feature at the Silent Movie Theatre tonight. The theme is euphoriants. First on the bill is ‘60s satire Work is a Four-Letter Word, where the protagonist puts his mushroom growing habit above everything else – even his wife. Milos Forman’s Taking Off is about runaway kids in New York and the parents tracking them down. But during the search, the parents discover the joys of ‘60s counterculture – sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. There’s a DJ playing during the intermission and a discussion led by filmmaker Mike Mills, journalist/historian Paul Cullum and Arthur editor Jay Babcock.

FILM (Option 2)
The description of Caramel makes it sound like the Steel Magnolias of Lebanon. “In director Nadine Labaki's charming feature debut a Beirut beauty salon plays unassuming stage to the lives of five vibrant women whose adventures in life and love encapsulate the sensual, cosmopolitan rhythms of the surrounding city.” But it's been getting good buzz, so see for yourself.
