 BURN AFTER READING

Saturday, January 10 - Willsboro Central School - 8:00 PM

Nominated for Best Comedy by the Golden Globes. Directed by the Coen brothers and starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.

This all-star comedy is set in the Washington world of sex, lies and surveillance. "The characters are zany, the plot coils upon itself with dizzy zeal, and the roles are a perfect fit for the actors," said Roger Ebert. Rated R for language and some sexual content.

• "The Coen's best work since Fargo" - Chicago Reader
• "Hilarious. The witty dialogue stays in your head for days" - USA Today
• "Perfection!" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
• "An all-star farce" - Rolling Stone
• "Delightful nonsense. I enjoyed every minute of it." - Newsweek
