| The Queen of Versailles (2012) |
 October 17, 7:30pm
$7.50/$5.50 BAC Members
Rated PG. RT: 1:40.
The Queen of Versailles follows the Siegel family, owner of the $1 billion company Westgate Resorts, as they attempt to build the most expensive single family home in the United States. The family struggles throughout, as the US economy declines and they have to come face to face with failing to accomplish their lofty dreams. This film, which won the U.S. Directing Award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, is an interesting look into the psyche of the United States most upper class.
"The Queen of Versailles" is funny, sad, infuriating, instructive. It's the American Dream inflated to ridiculous extremes, until it bursts.” Bill GoodykoontzREVIEW

"Phantom of the Opera" inspired Universal Studios to create a long run of classic horror/monster movies including “Dracula,” “Frankenstein,” and “The Mummy.” In its 1925 theater run, this silent film was screened in theaters with an organist playing live alongside the picture. This special Beverly Art Center presentation will give audiences the chance to experience that 1925-style experience.

Now that everything has changed, Bogdan succumbs to fate and begins to drink heavily. Thankfully his resolute mother has a formula to free the despairing Bogdan from his state of lethargy: renovating the run-down farmhouse and hard work in the stables. One day Bogdan makes a fateful discovery. A surprisingly musical cow, of all things, rekindles Bogdan's life spirits and gives him a crazy idea. His friends and family throw their hands up in horror, and when he tops things by organizing a village feast, things run completely out of control.
