POTSDAM – Cinema 10 will present “Meek’s Cutoff,” a 2010 film directed by Kelly Reichardt, at 7:15 p.m. Monday, April 2 at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.
The movie is set on the Oregon Trail in 1845, as a small wagon train of pioneers begins to lose confidence in their frontier guide, Stephen Meek, played by Bruce Greenwood. The “shortcut” he promised has led nowhere.
Wits and instincts are tested as each passing day threatens to turn the trail bloody. Michelle Williams, who appeared in “Brokeback Mountain” and “My Week With Marilyn” plays Emily Tetherow, one of the wives.
Anne Hornaday of the “Washington Post” says the film is "a masterpiece of American genre, a poetic tour de force whose power lies, not in pyrotechnics or posturing but an honesty every bit as forthright and gutsy as Emily Tetherow herself."
The film is rated PG. Tickets are $4.50 general admission and $3.50 for students and senior citizens.
