The bad news: A last-minute booking bump for A Separation has moved it from this Friday to March 2 at The Belcourt. (Our guess: the distributor is gambling the superb Iranian domestic drama will seal the deal on its Oscar nomination for best foreign film when the Academy hands out its awards Feb. 26.) The good news: The theater has moved up one of the season's cinematic conversation pieces, director Lynne Ramsay's psychological drama We Need to Talk About Kevin, with Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly as the parents of ... let's say a deeply disturbed child.
The movie now opens Friday; in the meantime, check out this creepy trailer, which uses the tinkling xylophone and wide-eyed innocence of Buddy Holly's "Everyday" to thoroughly unnerving effect.
