One Life (PG)
Runtime: 1:25
Opens May
A feature length nature documentary from BBC Earth, ONE LIFE is right up there with the best that the BBC Films can do and features some absolutely stunning cinematography (both on a grandiose scale and down to a microscopic level) to provide a fantastic reminder of just what connects every single one of us, human or animal or even plant, on this great big ball called Earth.
Protecting the young, avoiding becoming part of the food chain, finding a mate, hunting prey, adapting to environments – all of these things and more are given a look in this wonderful film. The natural beauty is so stunningly caught on camera that it almost feels like super-duper CGI. There are several things that mark One Life out as something special amongst other wildlife films. Amazing landscapes all over the globe, from the Arctic to the Rainforest are shown in all their glory. The BBC also have a knack for getting footage of animals in unprecedented detail, seeing a school of fish, or a humpback whale, or watching a young Ibex escaping from a fox down the side of a mountain. Over 14 different species are covered, including Silverback gorillas, elephants, cheetahs, the Rhino beetle, and even a Venus Flytrap.
YOU, YOUR SCHOOL OR GROUP are invited to experience the newest BBC NATURE film, ONE LIFE (Rated PG) at the DREXEL THEATRE.-- Schools and groups may book special showings through May 30.

Augustine captures the attention of Dr. Charcot (Vincent Lindon, Mademoiselle Chambon, Welcome) after a seizure, which appears to give her intense physical pleasure. Intrigued, he begins using her as his principal subject hypnotizing her in front of fellow doctors - as she displays her unusual fits in lecture halls - eventually blurring the lines between doctor and patient.
From Up On Poppy Hill (PG)
Runtime: 1:31
Coming Soon!
The new film from Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and many other animated masterpieces. Written by legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Goro Miyazaki, From Up on Poppy Hill marks the first feature film collaboration between father and son. The results are stunning – a pure, sincere, nuanced and heartfelt film that signals yet another triumph for the esteemed studio.
Set in Yokohama in 1963, the film centers on a high school couple’s innocent love and the secrets surrounding their births. The story takes place in a Japan that is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics – and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the new generation struggles to embrace modernity and throw off the shackles of a troubled past.
English-language featuring the voices of Jamie Lee Curtis, Christina Hendricks, Ron Howard, Aubrey Plaza and others.
