Time was when you could go to a movie and fall in love – at least with the movie. Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville has returned to 100% capacity just in time for two Valentine’s Day offerings Monday, Feb. 14. “The Love Witch” (7 p.m.) is a 1960s-style thriller about a real witch looking for love in all the wrong places, so to speak. Samantha Robinson stars in this Anna Biller exploration of female fantasy and the price of narcissism. For tickets, visit https://burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-love-witch/
In “In the Mood for Love” (7:30 p.m.) Wong Kar Wai offers viewers a brief encounter, circa Hong Kong, 1962. Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. For tickets, visit https://burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-love-witch/
