FLICKER OF THE WEEK | Suggestions in Full-Motion Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six more<\/em> films open or go wide this weekend to fill up first-run screens; happily, the content seems varied in this field as two genre films, one light Christian yarn, one auteur<\/em> epic heavy in faith and conscience, one biography of a controversial businessman, and one tenderly-observed period drama attempt to find their viewing tribes. In honor of the Women\u2019s March on Washington<\/strong> (D.C.<\/strong>) tomorrow, we highlight three features exploring the strength of women in different decades of the 20th century. That includes the period drama, 20TH CENTURY WOMEN<\/strong> (A24 Films\/Annapurna Pictures<\/strong>), which opens at Goodrich Savoy 16<\/strong> today, Fri., 1\/21<\/strong>; directed by Mike Mills<\/strong> and starring Annette Bening, Lucas Jade Zumann, Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig<\/strong>, and Billy Crudup<\/strong>, the ensemble piece takes place in 1979 and depicts how a single mother and her teenage son develop a surrogate family of sorts that inhabits their turn-of-the-19th-century home in Santa Barbara, CA<\/strong>. Also beginning its local run today at the Art Theater Co-op<\/strong> is JACKIE<\/strong> (Fox Searchlight Pictures\/LD Entertainment<\/strong>), a reflection of President John F. Kennedy<\/strong>\u2019s death as experienced in the immediate aftermath by first lady Jacqueline Kennedy<\/strong> (Natalie Portman<\/strong>); this lushly cinematic interpretation is directed by Pablo Larra\u00edn<\/strong> and also features Peter Sarsgaard, Richard E. Grant<\/strong>, and John Hurt<\/strong> as well as Crudup and Gerwig. Scheduled at the AMC Parkway 8<\/strong> in Springfield<\/strong> as part of the annual Molly Schlich Independent | International Film Series<\/strong> is THE INNOCENTS<\/strong> (Music Box Films\/Mandarin Cinema<\/strong>), a starkly photographed examination of tenacity among women in the most trying moments. Directed by Anne Fontaine<\/strong> with a refreshing number of lady professionals taking primary roles behind and before the camera, THE INNOCENTS<\/strong> retells a real-life incident that occurred in 1945 Poland<\/strong> at the end of World War II<\/strong>; a French Red Cross<\/strong> nurse named Mathilde (Lou de La\u0203ge<\/strong>) is convinced to leave her station and visit a countryside monastery in order to help several nuns who were forcibly impregnated by Soviet soldiers. Sponsored by Springfield Art Association<\/strong>, the Molly Schlich Series will present THE INNOCENTS<\/strong> on Sun., 1\/22, 1 & 4 p.m.<\/strong>, and Tues., 1\/24, 7 p.m.<\/strong> If you are unable to participate publicly this weekend in our nation\u2019s capital or closer to home, consider marching to these venues and demonstrating with your dollars and attentions the necessity and worth of quality female-centric storytelling such as this. \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d is hereby femme<\/em>.<\/p>\n
