Cairo Time Patricia Clarkson, as a New York magazine editor, and Alexander Siddig, as a charming native, star in this bittersweet and achingly beautiful story of two strangers who spend a few days together in the teeming Egyptian city and find themselves falling in love - perhaps. 1 hr. 29 PG (adult themes) - S.R.
Farewell A tense French spy thriller based on real events, fascinating not only for its glimpse into the machinations of government espionage agencies in the Cold War era of the early '80s, but for the toll such subterfuge takes on the men, and women, involved. With film directors-turned-actors Guillaume Canet and Emir Kusturica as the Frenchman and the Russian at the center of this top-secret business. 1 hr. 53 No MPAA rating (adult themes) - S.R.
