Highly Recommended:

“REQUIEM FOR DOMINIC”(Austria; director Robert Dornhelm; Music Hall, 6:30 p.m.). Austria’s official Oscar submission this year: a deeply provocative, absorbing film with tragic stature and historical resonance. Dornhelm matches together documentary footage and dramatic recreations, and gets non-actors, including several secret police, to repeat their actual roles . . . creating a harrowing story about a hero in last year’s Romanian revolution. Critic’s Choice with the L.A. Weekly’s Ella Taylor
