(LÅT DEN RÄTTE KOMMA IN, Tomas Alfredson, Sweden 2008, 113 min., Swedish/subtitles)
Plagued by school bullies, 12 year-old Oskar finds a friend and his first crush in Eli, a seemingly young girl who lives in his working class apartment block. What Oskar doesn’t know is that his protective new friend is an ageless vampire and an ongoing local murder spree is the result of her thirst for human blood. Director Alfredson’s scary – and surprisingly touching – new genre hybrid returns by popular demand. Don’t miss what may be your last chance to see it on the big screen.
George Eastman House has canceled the Dryden Theatre screening of The Price of Sugar on Saturday, March 21, due to ongoing litigation involving the film and its distributor. The cancellation of The Price of Sugar is due to a legal action commenced by certain persons featured in the film against the filmmakers. Upon resolution of such claims, the George Eastman House will review the court’s decision and, if such resolution is favorable for screening the film, Eastman House will give consideration to rescheduling the film as part of its Human Spirit Series, with a full panel discussion following the screening. The Human Spirit series will return in April, with screenings of Examined Life at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 11 and 5 p.m. Sunday, April 12.
