Potsdam's Cinema 10 to screen 'Mr. Turner' on Monday

POTSDAM -- Cinema 10 continues its fall 2015 season with a screening of “Mr. Turner” on Monday, Oct. 19, at the Potsdam Roxy, 20 Main St. at 7:15 p.m.

The film deals with London, and a country at the dawn of the modern age, and of J.M.W. Turner as a man awed by the new technologies of photography and the railways.

Following the landscape artist through a quarter century, director Mike Leigh “succeeds gloriously in finding a way to suggest the numinous quality of Turner’s work, his unique use of light and other elements to suggest the ways in which everything in nature is connected,” according to Leslie Felperin of Hollywood Review.

“Mr. Turner addresses the big questions with small moments. It's an extraordinary film, all at once strange, entertaining, thoughtful and exciting,” said Dave Calhoun of Time Out.

The movie is 144 minutes long and rate R for some sexual content.

Tickets are $3.50 for students and seniors and $4.50 for general admission.
