BRATTLE THEATER. The Searchers, one of John Ford's finest westerns, is doubled with Howard Hawk's Rio Bravo, which some love, others hate, and I haven't seen. Ford plays at 5:30 and 9:50, and 7:30 with a weekend matinee at 3:15.
CENTRAL CINEMA I. King of Hearts at 6:30 and 9:45, also 3:10 on weekends. Give Her the Moon at 8:15 and 4:10 on weekends.
CENTRAL CINEMA II. Bogdanovich's over-rated but well-acted Last Picture Show at 6 and 9:50, with Rohmer's fluffy Claire's Knee at 8:05 and 4:10 on weekends.
ORSON WELLES CINEMA I. A Face in the Crowd, which Elia Kazan made to satirize politics via media, wasn't very good to begin with and dates badly. Chuck Kramer has made an absurd case against political art on its basis in The Real Paper. He obviously doesn't know the best film examples (Rosi's works), and anything outside of film. With The Critic. Call 868-3600 for times.
