Weekly Rochester Events #491 Starting Thursday, June 5, 2008
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Dobro pozhalovat, ili postoronnim vkhod vospreshchyon (Welcome, Or No Trespassing) starting earlier-than-usual at 7 p.m. to make room for the second feature, Pokhozhdeniya zubnogo vracha (Adventures of a Dentist), starting at 8:30 p.m. I think the Eastman House calendar does a great job explaining: "both of these wonderful satires by Klimov were initially repressed in the USSR. In the subversive Welcome, or No Trespassing, a pre-teen hero is expelled from summer camp. When he sneaks back in, the other children hide him. In Dentist, a talented dentist who can extract teeth without any pain is tormented by jealous colleagues."
