(1993, 114 minutes, rated R) Ruby in Paradise was one of the best films of 1993. Writer and director Victor Nunez focuses on this sensitive woman's inner life as she ponders the meaning of care, desire, loneliness, fear, intimacy, independence, and love.

December 8 - First Snow
(2007, 102 minutes, rated R, made in NM) With a thriller as low-key as the film ‘noirish’ First Snow, dynamic acting is a must.

December 22 - Joyeux Noel
(2005, 113 minutes, rated PG-13 IN FRENCH & GERMAN) - On Christmas Eve of 1914, caroling in the French, German, and Scottish trenches led to a sense of mutual understanding and a temporary truce that lasted through the next day. The dirty, disheveled men emerged into No Man's Land to exchange small gifts - cigarettes for chocolates or champagne - and share pictures of their wives and children. They buried their dead and played soccer. On any day in any city, the activities would have been considered normal. In the midst of a battlefield, they were surreal. That's the mood director Christian Carion wanted to capture, and he does so effectively. For Joyeux Noel, he has created a number of fictionalized characters, but the historical events in which their stories unfold are accurately portrayed. |
|
December 29 - The Straight Story
(1999, 111 minutes, rated G)- The Straight Story is based on a true story, about an elderly man's journey to reconcile with his brother. Alvin Straight (NM resident, the late Richard Farnsworth) is an ailing widower in his early 70's who lives in Laurens, Iowa with his daughter, Rose (Sissy Spacek). Alvin doesn't trust doctors, despite suffering from emphysema and a bad hip. Alvin learns that his brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has suffered a stroke and may not have long to live. |
