(NEWTON, NJ) -- A United Kingdom and The Salesman are two of the new movies to be shown at The Newton Theatre. Tickets for each movie are only $7 and are on sale now.
A United Kingdom will be shown on Monday, March 20th and Tuesday, March 21st at 7:00 pm. Starring David Oyelowo (Selma) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), A United Kingdom tells the inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the king of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. Seretse and Ruth defied family, apartheid and empire. Their love triumphed over every obstacle flung in their path and in so doing they transformed their nation and inspired the world.
The 2017 Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Film, The Salesman, will be shown at The Newton Theatre on Sunday, March 26th at 4:00 and 7:00 pm; and on Monday, March 26th and Tuesday, March 27th at 7:00 pm. Forced to leave their collapsing house, Ranaa (Taraneh Alidoosti) and Emad (Shahab Hosseini), an Iranian couple who happen to be performers rehearsing for Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" rent a new apartment from one of their fellow performers. Unaware of the fact that the previous tenant had been a woman of ill repute having many clients, they settle down. By a nasty turn of events one of the clients pays a visit to the apartment one night while Ranaa is alone at home taking a bath and the aftermath turns the peaceful life of the couple upside down.
