Note to foreign film buffs: there's a whole passel of films being shown at Theatre N this weekend, some for only one showing. It's something of a mini French film festival. I did my best trying to correctly report what's showing on what day, but you're best off viewing Theatre N's schedule if you're interested in any of this: http://www.theatern.org/Films
