Critic and audience favourite at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, French avant-garde filmmaker Leos Carax's surreal Holy Motors gets a proper run at Vancity Theatre, opening Nov. 16. Entertainment Weekly calls the film a "crazy-beautiful reverie about movies, love, the love of movies, and the inevitability of human melancholy." For show times and more info, go to viff.org.
Jonesing for your Mamet fix? Mitch and Murray Productions hears your wordy, subtext-loaded cries. David Mackay directs a cast of veteran Vancouver actors, including Kwesi Ameyaw, Craig Erickson, Aaron Craven and Marsha Regis, in this tension-filled production of David Mamet's Race. The explosive play revolves around two lawyers who find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman. Hint: This one's not exactly date-friendly. Race runs until Dec. 1 at Studio 16 (1555 West Seventh Ave.). Tickets at brownpapertickets.com or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
Velvety voiced host of CBC Radio One's Q Jian Ghomeshi has penned a memoir called 1982, an Iranian-Canadian coming of age story filled with New Wave fashions, music and suburban angst. And wouldn't you know it, he's in Vancouver for a sold-out reading event and sit-down conversation with CBC On The Coast host and occasional Ghomeshi fill-in Stephen Quinn. It all goes down Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m. at UBC's Frederic Wood Theatre.
