Saturday rolls in with a couple of interesting titles:

Fox's The Dancer Upstairs was a stealth theatrical release last year, but John Malkovich's directorial debut is an engrossing political thriller about repression and terror in a developed South American country. Javier Bardem is excellent as a principled detective hunting down a fanatic revolutionary.

The independent distributor The Film Movement's August offering is OT: Our Town an LA-area docu about kids in Compton putting on their own no-budget version of Thornton Wilder's play. It's an uplifting show and an eye-opener about conditions at Dominguez High.

More coming, of course, including weird Something Weird triple bills, and more fancy Warners two disc set classics. Thanks, Glenn Erickson
