Volunteer of the Month

Step into the windswept moors and shadowed corridors of director Cary Joji Fukunaga's 2011 adaptation of Jane Eyre, part of January's programming thanks to our Volunteer Of The Month, Sirena! Mia Wasikowska stars as Jane, the fiercely principled young governess whose quiet strength and sharp intelligence set her apart in a world determined to keep her small. When she arrives at Thornfield Hall, she encounters the brooding, enigmatic Mr. Rochester (Michael Fassbender), and their unlikely connection ignites one of literature’s most enduring romances. Full of mystery and longing, Fukunaga's adaptation was praised upon its release for its suitably bleak atmosphere and magnetic performances. Come see it on the big screen!

Our second Volunteer Of Month comes courtesy of our pal Tyler, who has chosen The Coen Brothers’ bittersweet valentine to the folk scene before it broke big: Inside Llewyn Davis. Oscar Isaac delivers a revelatory performance as Llewyn Davis, a brilliant but self-sabotaging musician orbiting the edges of success in a world of smoke-filled cafés and battered guitar cases. A portrait of artistic struggle without the mythmaking, it would be underselling the movie to tell you the plot instead of just selling the miserable vibe, which only The Brothers Coen could pull off.  The T Bone Burnett–curated soundtrack, a masterpiece in its own right, is worth the price of admission alone.
