MICHAEL SWAN: ON THE BIG SCREEN TOMORROW >>>

Only one film we know is opening tomorrow due to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hype, which began yesterday. Cheri will open at The Grand Cinema tomorrow with show times at 2, 4:15, 6:30 and 8:35 p.m. through next Thursday with a noon screening Saturday and Sunday.

Cheri stars Michelle Pfeiffer as a beautiful and subtle as a 50ish courtesan Léa de Lonval who makes the mistake of falling sincerely in love with a friend’s son (Rupert Friend), who is 24 years younger. They promptly fall into bed together and wake up from their lusty haze six years later when his mom (Kathy Bates) demands grandchildren. Pissed, she marries him off to the virginal Edmée (Felicity Jones).

Christopher Hampton’s script is tight and gets quickly to the point, a change of pace for a costume drama. Read Roger Ebert’s rave review of Cheri here.
