Audrey Tautou , who had us at "Bonjour" in "Amélie", stars in this sexy, thoroughly charming, romantic and fresh reimagining of the classic comedy "Breakfast at Tiffany's", set against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of France's impossibly chic Cote d'Azure, about a Buster Keaton-esque waiter mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful, scheming opportunist and gold digger. "Beguiles all the way from the parade of umbrellas decorating the opening titles to the closing credits" raved even the staid Wall Street Journal. In French with English subtitles. Rated PG-13. 104 min.

Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn) confirms his standing as poet laureate of men in extreme situations with ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD. In this visually stunning exploration, Herzog travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, the hub of the US Antarctic Program and home to eleven hundred people during the austral spring and summer (Oct-Feb). Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal, and sometimes absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who choose to form a society as far away from society as one can get.

Shows are at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Driven by Isabel Coixet's visually assured and deeply observant direction, Elegy charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor and a young woman whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him. As their intimate connection transforms them-more than either could imagine-a charged sexual contest evolves into an indelible love story. With humanistic warmth, wry wit and erotic intensity, Elegy explores the power of beauty to blind, to reveal and to transform. Starring Oscar-nominee Penelope Cruz and Academy Award-winner Ben Kingsley, with extraordinary supporting performances from Dennis Hopper, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard, Elegy is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Philip Roth's short novel The Dying Animal.

Shows are at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
