With the suc­cess of sites like Etsy in the last few years, and with groups like the Sev­enCi­ties Crafters pop­ping up all over the U.S., it was only a mat­ter of time before a doc­u­men­tary like Hand­made Nation showed up. The film doc­u­ments the rise of the new DIY cul­ture, and shows the way it dif­fers in from place to place. And although we wish they would have brought it sooner (the movie goes to DVD on Novem­ber 3rd), we are glad the Naro decided to bring it in for a one-time show­ing this Saturday.

This week, the Naro is con­tin­u­ing to screen a fan­tas­tic film called “Tokyo!” Pre­sented in a very sim­i­lar fash­ion to “Paris, Je T’aime,” three direc­tors cre­ate three dis­tinct visions of Tokyo that all work together as a larger whole. It looks like a bizarre ride, where amaz­ing visu­als abound.

Wendy and Lucy is a new film screen­ing at the Naro that looks to be quite good. Michelle Williams plays Wendy, a girl dri­ving to Alaska in hopes of find­ing a job at the North­west­ern Fish can­nery. What begins with her hope of start­ing a new life with her dog, Lucy, changes dra­mat­i­cally when her cir­cum­stances become more and more challenging.

By now, you’ve cer­tainly heard of “The Wrestler.” Golden Globes, Acad­emy Awards, SAG Awards-you name it, and it’s prob­a­bly already been said about Dar­ren Aronofsky’s lat­est work. Star­ring Mickey Rourke and fea­tur­ing Marisa Tomei and Even Rachel Wood, “The Wrestler” promises a gritty glimpse into a life of a washed up pro­fes­sional wrestler with wan­ing dreams of a comeback.
