the Tampa Bay audience is ready and eager
for this type of programming. Reaction

foreign film with English subtitles. A
discussion about the film with expert
George Meyer, film reviewer for the Sarasota
Herald-Tribune, concludes the evening.

In this critically acclaimed, stylish
and engaging thriller, two con artists
try to swindle a stamp collector by selling
him a sheet of counterfeit and presumably
valuable rare stamps, The Nine Queens.
As tricky negotiations ensue over the
stamps, a sparkling cast of suspicious
characters and a slew of thieves, conmen
and pickpockets is introduced. The deceptions
mount and it becomes more and more difficult
to figure out who is conning whom. 114
minutes.

Pedro, a gay dentist with a very active
social life, agrees to take care of his
11-year-old nephew, Bernardo, for two
weeks. This soon becomes a more permanent
arrangement and Pedro finds himself the
boy's caretaker and must face the challenges
of raising a child. In the tradition of
"Kramer vs. Kramer," BEAR CUB
seamlessly merges dramatic situations
with offbeat humor, creating a moving,
heartwarming film. 99 minutes.
