“The Origin of Evil” -  (R; 2 hours, 3 minutes, In French w/ English subtitles) - When Stéphane gets in touch with wealthy Serge, announcing that she is his long-abandoned daughter, his immediate family are none too thrilled. As Stéphane embarks on an extended visit in hopes of getting to know Serge, she also becomes entangled with the hostile women who share a tense existence in his beautifully appointed mansion by the sea, all of whom are clearly unsettled by the arrival of Serge’s newly announced heir. But Stéphane is a confident liar with secrets of her own, which writer-director Sébastien Marnier teases out with cool assurance in this wildly entertaining thriller that will keep you guessing all the way to the end. Final showtimes Thu Oct 19 at 1 PM* (please note early start time) and 7 PM. Presented in partnership with Reny’s.

“Joan Baez I Am A Noise” - (NR; 1 hour, 49 minutes) - Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, “Joan Baez I Am A Noise” is a raw and intimate portrait of the legendary folk singer and activist that shifts back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings. Baez is remarkably revealing about her life on and off stage — from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King Jr., and a heartbreaking romance with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend, this film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now. Playing Friday, Oct. 20 at 2 and 7 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 22 at 2 p.m.; Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 2 and 7 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m.

Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The outstanding cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and legendary mezzo-soprano Susan Graham—who sang Helen Prejean in the opera’s 2000 premiere—as De Rocher’s mother.
