Holy Rollers is inspired by actual events in the late ’90s when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. Sam Gold (Jesse Eisenberg), a young Hasid from an Orthodox Brooklyn community, reluctantly follows the path his family has chosen for him, awaiting a pending arranged marriage and studying to become a Rabbi. A charming neighbor, Yosef (Justin Bartha), senses SamÂ’s resistance and propositions him to transport ‘medicineÂ’ for Jackie (Danny A. Abeckaser), an Israeli dealer, and his girlfriend, Rachel (Ari Graynor). Sam quickly demonstrates his business skill to his bosses, who instantly take Sam under their wing. Now exposed to the exciting and gritty worlds of Manhattan and Amsterdam nightlife, Sam begins to spiral deeper into their detrimental lifestyle, experimenting with ecstasy and then falling for Rachel. As the business grows, SamÂ’s double life begins to rip his family apart and the community becomes suspicious of his illegal activities. Sam slowly comes to realize the façade behind the easy money and parties. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, Sam goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down

The Boston Sunday Night Film Club will not meet this Sunday, May 23rd.  Whether we meet on Memorial Day Weekend (May 30th) has yet to be determined.  We’ll let you know as soon as a decision has been made.

The Independent Film Festival Boston 2010 is just around the corner, April 21st through the 28th!  The lineup this year is ambitious as always, and deciding which films I’m going to attend is already a challenge.  You can see the schedule and buy tickets here, and as last year that site features the “Festival Genius” which helps you create a schedule and resolve conflicts.  It’s a great tool.

The festival film I’ve selected for the club this year is “Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and The Magnetic Fields”, and as Stephin is from the area I’d would be surprised if this wasn’t a popular show.  I’d recommend buying tickets in advance. Even better, you save a buck by buying your tickets in advance!

If that film doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, there are many other interesting films showing that evening, so hopefully you can find something else you are interested in.  If you want to be a true IFF degenerate like myself, may I recommend obtaining a festival pass.  I find that even if the math of money on tickets and money on a pass is close, the convenience of having a pass and getting into the theatre first removes much of the pressure of trying to see lots of movies.  Last year I believe I saw 18 or 19, so I certainly got my value out of it.  And this year they’ve added an additional day to the festival, so it should be even easier!
