A COFFEE IN BERLIN
Winner of Six German Film Awards, this tragicomedy is a self-ironic portrait of a young man who drops out of university and ends up wandering the streets of the city he lives: Berlin. Shot in black and white, and with a jazz soundtrack, it’s a look at a city and the zeitgeist of a generation. At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater

THE NANCE
In 1930s burlesque, a headliner called “the nance” was a stereotypically camp homosexual and master of comic double entendre — usually played by a straight man. Tony Award winner Nathan Lane was nominated for a Tony for his portrayal of Chauncey Miles, a homosexual “nance” at a time when it was easy to play gay and dangerous to be gay.

FED UP
For the past 30 years, everything we thought we knew about food and exercise is dead wrong. This is the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see. From Katie Couric and Laurie David, this may change the way you eat forever. At Boedecker. —Boedecker Theater
