[*BCM*] The Brattle Theatre Presents: MONKEY WARFARE

[Andrea O'Meara]

We all know that bikes, trash picking and Canada go hand in hand in, well,
hand.  And, since we here at The Brattle are committed to bringing our
audience the latest and greatest in cinematic debauchery, we are presenting,
for a limited time only, MONKEY WARFARE.

SO, in order to further this latest bike-ridin'/trash-pickin'/Canuck-talkin'
film, we are reaching out to the local bike groups, shops, individuals, what
have you, to promote this great print, one that few have seen but many
should. We'd like to get the word out to local bike enthusiasts and ask for
your participation, whether that be by coming to a screening or mentioning
it to a friend over a beer after work, or even forwarding this email to
someone else you know who would be interested.

Now, a bit about the film:

Friday, April 4th - Monday, April 7th
Monkey Warfare
(2006) dir Reginald Harkema w/Don McKellar, Tracy Wright, Nadia Litz
[75 min]

Since receiving grand acclaim at last year's Independent Film Festival of
Boston, MONKEY WARFARE has failed to find a U.S. distributor, not one to be
stopped by such a fact, we have gone ahead and negotiated with the filmmaker
to offer this premiere run of one of the most endearing of revolutionary
films. 

Dan (McKellar) and Linda (Wright) are a couple of forty-something
ex-radicals who ride their bikes everywhere, live off the grid and maintain
their pot and vinyl record habits by picking trash and selling their finds
on eBay. When their usual pot dealer is busted, Dan runs across a new one,
Susan (Litz) - who happens to be pretty, young, and impressionable. A
sort-of love triangle develops between the three but, when Susan uncovers
the secret revolutionary past of her new clients, she becomes inspired and
heads down a path that has the potential to upset everyone's lives more than
any romantic entanglement could. An excellent film with three great
performances, a truly outstanding soundtrack and a witty, playful script
that stands above most of the quirky, perky indie films that play every year
in film festivals. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at The Independent Film
Festival of Boston 2007! A complete listing of the show-times can be found
at www.brattlefilm.org

A couple quotes:

"The most exciting indie film I've seen in years!" - Chris Braiotta, Weekly
Dig

"Godard + marijuana + bicycles + kick-ass soundtrack + Molotov cocktail
how-to = authentic, witty, and fun film that rocks." - MIT Tech

And that's it! Thanks for reading! Hope to see you at the Brattle! Pay it
forward!
