DANCES WITH WOLVES – 25th Anniversary
This film won seven Oscars in 1991, including Best Picture and Best Director Kevin Costner. (It was the first Western to be named Best Picture since Cimarron took the prize in 1931.) It remains one of the most popular Western films of all time, with one of the few positive and honest portrayals of Native American culture. And it is a genuine historical epic that deserves to be seen on the big screen, where its spectacular battle scenes and buffalo hunt can be fully appreciated. Time Magazine’s Richard Schickel praised the film by saying, “As a director, Costner is alive to the sweep of the country and the expansive spirit of the Western movie tradition.” Special guest speakers at this showing will include actress Mary McDonnell, who was Oscar-nominated for her performance in the film and earned a second nomination for John Sayles’ Passion Fish two years later. Screens Saturday, August 13, at 2:15 PM.

MOREFEATURED REVIEW
Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times
Kevin Costner opens his stirringly fine "Dances With Wolves" by pitching us without prologue or apology into the thick of character and action. Costner's Lt. John Dunbar, a wounded Union officer, is next in line to have his foot sawed off at a Tennessee field hospital; preferring to die intact ...
