Potiche
A comedic vehicle for the still-stunning Catherine Deneuve, Potiche is about a late-middle-aged trophy wife who finds herself suddenly running her husband's company. She blossoms from a trivialized, timid housewife to capable and passionate business woman. Her husband recovers from the illness that precipitated this change in leadership, but is in for a surprise when he attempts to put his wife back in the shadows again. Also starring Gerard Depardieu.
Editor's note: I've seen the previews for this a couple of times, and it looks very entertaining. I recommend it.
Times: Friday at 8, Saturday at 2, Sunday at 6:30.

Bill Cunningham New York
This is a documentary about the career of Bill Cunningham, long-time photographer for the New York Times Style Section. He's a bit of an eccentric, traveling around with his expensive equipment on a Schwinn bicycle and dressing like Mr. Rogers, while delighting in photographing women who look like peacocks (I'm sorry, I've just never gotten the appeal of high fashion. It's probably not fair of me to call them peacocks). See it if you do get the appeal of high fashion, see it if for the absurdity of New York fashion life, or see it for an interesting portrait of an old man with a camera, biking through the streets of New York in chase of high society.
Times: Friday at 2, Saturday at 5 and 8, and Sunday at noon.

Theatre N ticket prices are usually $5 or $7. The theatre is located in the Nemours Building on 10th and Orange, and parking is validated for $1 at the Community lot across the street on 10th. Popcorn, candy, and beers and wines are available for very reasonable prices. The audience right now is on the retiree side of things, but Wilmingtonic aims to get more young people to support the city-sponsored, volunteer-run art house theater.
