Series to feature ‘The Departed’
1/25/2007 - Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Mark Wahlberg), “The Departed” is the next featured film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Saturday at 8 p.m. and on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Recent Golden Globe (Best Director) winner Martin Scorsese is at the top of his game with this South Boston crime drama written by William Monahan, which finds a cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) undercover as a member of the Irish Mafia while a mob member (Matt Damon) infiltrates the Massachusetts State Police. Violence and bloodshed erupt when discoveries are made and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy’s identities.
The supporting cast includes Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga and Ray Winstone. “The Departed” is “a thinking fan’s thriller, a movie involving multiple fully dimensional characters, multiple story lines and edge-of-your-seat twists and swerves, stylized to just the edge of believability,” says Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press.
Lou Lumenick of the New York Post hails “The Departed” as “Scorsese’s sharpest film in a decade and the most entertaining major studio release this year.” Ty Burr of the Boston Globe calls it “a relentlessly violent, breathtakingly assured piece of mean-streets filmmaking.” And Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal praises its “thrilling breadth and intensity.” Rated R for violence, language and sexuality, “The Departed” runs 149 minutes.
Tickets for the Opera House Cinema Series are available at the door for $7 (adults) and $6.50 (seniors, students and Opera House members) the night of each showing. This is the series’ final film under the management of Uniplex Cinemas. The series will continue in May when the Opera House staff takes over its coordination.
