Sedona International Film Festival Presents Noise at Sedona Premiere
|
|
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Arizona premiere of ¡°Noise¡±, starring Tim Robbins, William Hurt and William Baldwin. There will be two screenings of the film at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres. The Sedona screenings of ¡°Noise¡± are presented two weeks before the film¡¯s theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles. ¡°Noise¡± is the second film in a five-week series presented by the film festival every Tuesday through May 20th. Writer/director Henry Bean (¡°The Believer¡±) returns to the big screen with a complete rarity in American movies today: a comedy of ideas. When David Owen (Oscar-winner Tim Robbins) moves to New York, he likes everything about the city except the noise. Indeed, at first, even noise seems to him the throb of urban vitality which makes New York so exciting. Yet gradually this incessant and "unnecessary" din begins to drive him crazy. He begins to realize that Manhattan is a place where it¡¯s too noisy to get a good night¡¯s sleep, listen to classical music, or even make love to his wife without disturbance. It is not only the recurring intrusions into his thoughts or the distraction from the task at hand ¡ªthough these are bad enough ¡ª worse is the daily recognition that he can do nothing about it. It comes to seem that the message behind noise, indeed perhaps its chief purpose, is to remind him the he is powerless. And he finds this is intolerable. So David begins to take arms and take matters into his own hands. Every time David hears a car alarm going off, he swings into action. Adopting the guise of ¡°The Rectifier,¡± he engages in outrageous acts that satisfy him immensely but which generate no end of grief from his wife (Bridget Moynahan), who is worried about his irrational behavior. David understands her concern, perhaps even shares it, and promises to stop. But he can't; the noise is "wrong" and it seems that only he alone is willing to face this and do something about it. After ending up in jail and nearly sinking his marriage, David decides to try to go about his fight legally, collecting signatures for a petition which he hopes will get the issue on the ballot at an upcoming council election. The initiative is hugely popular but is blocked by the city's arrogant and slimy mayor (Oscar-winner William Hurt), forcing David to resort to an extreme strategy to make his point. ¡°Noise¡± is Bean's witty, often laugh-out-loud funny second installment in a trilogy of films. The film is based on his real-life story. The film will be shown at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres on Tuesday, April 29, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10, or $8 for Film Sedona members, and will be available starting at 3 p.m., in the Harkins lobby. Only cash or checks are accepted and seats are limited. Film Sedona members can purchase tickets in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office, 45 Sunset Drive, or by calling 928-282-1177.
