Where better to fall in love than Paris? Gene Kelley plays an American artist trying to earn a few francs by selling his paintings on the street. A rich woman takes an interest in his work, and she makes it clear she’s interested in him as well. But he’s smitten with a French girl who turns out to be engaged to one of his friends. Love triangles are almost as old as cinema itself, but this one is embellished with fantasy sequences that look like the result of collaborations between David Lynch and Busby Berkeley. The ending is predictable, so just relax and enjoy the glorious music of George Gershwin and a scene that Frank SInatra called “the greatest musical number ever put on film.” ■ Title — *An American in Paris* ■ Director — Vincente Minnelli ■ Cast — Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant ■ Rating — Approved (suitable for general audiences) ■ ©1951 \| 1h 54m \| Drama\, Music\, Musical\, Romance

Join Neurodivergent District for a night of camaraderie over karaoke, classic arcade games, and good food at Alexandria’s **Continues Arcade** on **Wednesday, February 11** for a little Valentine’s Day “pregame.” We plan to arrive by **6:30 PM** for our reservation; karaoke runs **7:00–10:00 PM**, and arriving early helps with signing up to sing and ordering food/drinks. Co-hosted by Patrick Rohan — he pitched this event (if you’d like to show appreciation, you can donate by Venmoing **@katewoodwardcm** and putting **“Patrick”** in the note). This venue can be **loud and overstimulating** for some, so please feel free to bring supports that help (earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, taking breaks outside, etc.). And no pressure to sing — you’re welcome to cheer others on and/or just come to socialize. **Please note:** you’re responsible for any arcade/food/drink charges you accrue. We look forward to seeing you.

You may wonder if you actually saw what you think you saw as you watch this movie, and that’s OK – Oddball Cinema encourages wondering! The visuals are occasionally bizarre, occasionally whimsical, and relentlessly dynamic as the environment changes to suit the characters’ moods, whims, or – well, you just have to see for yourself. Audrey Tatou is the leading lady, but don’t expect the wacky exploits of “Amélie” or the love-conquers-all spirit of “Priceless.” This story begins with comedy and romance, but something malignant lurks in the psychedelic undergrowth. ■ Title — *Mood Indigo* ■ A.K.A. — *L'écume des jours* ■ Director — Michel Gondry ■ Cast — Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Gad Elmaleh ■ Unrated, suitable for general audiences ■ ©2013 \| 1h 34m \| Comedy\, Drama\, Fantasy\, Romance ■ Distributed by Giant Pictures
