Sharp, fearless, and brilliantly crafted, Nimesh Patel is one of stand-up’s fastest-rising stars. An Emmy®-nominated writer and one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch,” Nimesh has gone from sold-out clubs to major theaters on the strength of his razor-tight joke writing and boundary-pushing perspective.
His self-produced specials—including Lucky Lefty, a hilariously bold take on surviving testicular cancer “for three business days”—have racked up millions of views, while his writing credits span Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and even the Academy Awards after being tapped by Chris Rock. Don’t miss your chance to see one of comedy’s smartest and most talked-about voices live—this is stand-up at its sharpest.

After years of self-imposed exile, pianist Mathias (François Civil) returns to France, where his former mentor, Eléna (Charlotte Rampling), has invited him to perform a series of concerts with her in his hometown of Lyon. Once a rising star of the French musical scene and Eléna’s prized pupil, Mathias has spent many years teaching and performing in Japan. Soon after his arrival, a chance encounter with a child who looks just like him throws Mathias into turmoil, threatening to drag him down, and leads him back to his first love, Claude (Nadia Tereszkiewicz). French master Arnaud Desplechin (My Sex Life…, A Christmas Tale) returns to some of his favorite themes – psychologically charged homecomings and unexpected reunions (romantic and otherwise) – in this sensual, Hitchcockian melodrama featuring one of Rampling’s most delicious roles in years.

"...does the very rare trick of hitting the standard movie marks in fresh and unexpected ways. This is a movie about adults, by which is meant there’s a frankness about human weakness that’s becoming rare in cinema."

As Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities, Azar Nafisi, an inspired teacher, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, they soon remove their veils, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James or Jane Austen, the women in Nafisi's living room dare to dream, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political, moral and personal siege. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of women's resilience in revolutionary Iran.&nbsp;

The Soul of Marvin is a cinematic soul experience that brings Marvin Gaye's catalog roaring back to life through the voice and artistry of Brian Owens. On Saturday, September 5, Owens — whose voice critics have placed firmly in Marvin's lineage — returns to the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center with a full live band. The night travels from early Motown sweetness through the social conscience of "What's Going On," the Marvin &amp; Tammi duets with Emily Lucas of That Motown Band, the slow burn of "Let's Get It On," and the joyful release of "Got to Give It Up."
