'Marjorie Prime' s will be next Cinema 10 film in spring series in Potsdam

POTSDAM -- “Marjorie Prime,” directed by Michael Almereyda in 2017, will be shown April 16 as the next film in the Cinema 10 series for the spring.

In “Marjorie Prime,” technology of the not-so-distant future allows people to interact with holograms of their deceased loved ones. When Marjorie’s memory starts failing her, the hologram of her dead husband causes a rift between family members who can’t come to terms with Marjorie’s impending final days.

Featuring stellar performances by Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Tim Robbins, and Lois Smith, Marjorie Prime is at once immediate and timeless, embracing nostalgia while subverting it.

Anne Hornaday writes in The Washington Post, “as a sly chamber piece, it reassures and unsettles in equal, exquisitely calibrated measure.”

The 99-minute film is not rated, but contains adult themes, language and brief nudity.

The inimitable Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) stars in “Ingrid Goes West” on April 23.

Plaza takes her comedic wit to the dark side in this 2017 film directed by Matt Spicer.

When social media sociopath Ingrid moves to California to befriend an Instagram superstar, she becomes part of a world ruled by hashtags, mistaking likes for genuine human connection.

This “daring comedy with a very sharp bite” (Sheila O’Malley, RogerEbert.com) won Sundance’s Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award.

The film is 98 minutes and is rated R for language throughout, drug use, some sexual content and disturbing behavior.

All Cinema 10 films are shown on Monday evenings at 7:15 in the Roxy Theater in Potsdam.

Tickets are $5.50 general admission and $45 per season or $4.50 student/senior and $35 per season.

Cinema 10 is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts.

Cinema 10 will resume in the fall.
