http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_rvfk5psbUendofvid[starttext]A Screaming Man’ (NC-17, 1:32, in French and Arabic) A quiet, tender and finally wrenching fictional story of an individual at the intersection of the personal and the political: an Everyman who works at a pool becomes engulfed by calamitous jealousies even as a civil war fast approaches. From the Chadian-born filmmaker Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (“Daratt”). (Dargis)
‘Soul Surfer’ (PG, 1:46) For all its pronounced religious overtones and glossy, commercial sheen, this picture about Bethany Hamilton, the competition surfer who at 13 lost her arm to a shark, manages to provide an interesting portrait of a determined athlete. It benefits from strong performances and an honesty about its protagonist’s daunting challenges. (Webster)
‘Source Code’ (PG-13, 1:33) Duncan Jones (“Moon”) directs and Jake Gyllenhaal stars in a nifty science-fiction thriller with a contemporary twist about a man who toggles between realities, one of which lasts eight minutes and ends with a boom. (Dargis)
★ ‘Win Win’ (R, 1:46) Tom McCarthy’s comedy of middle-class anxiety and scrambled good intentions is sharp and sweet, and in no hurry to reach conclusions or teach lessons. This gives plenty of room for the terrific cast — including Amy Ryan, Bobby Cannavale and a young first-timer named Alex Shaffer supporting the sad sack in chief, Paul Giamatti — to give the movie a scruffy, lived-in shape and texture. (Scott)
‘Wretches & Jabberers’ (No rating, 1:34) The two autistic men followed by this documentary are evidence in favor of never giving up on a person with a disability: only when they reached adulthood did they learn how to communicate effectively using a keyboard. The film follows the men, Larry Bissonnette and Tracy Thresher, as they (and two aides) travel to several foreign countries to tell their story. It can be slow going — the men need lots of time to peck out their thoughts letter by letter — but it’s inspiring nonetheless. (Genzlinger)
‘Your Highness’ (R, 1:42) David Gordon Green directs this self-conscious, sometimes overly self-satisfied goof about ye olde high times with James Franco and Danny McBride as two princely brothers on a royal if not royally excellent quest. (Dargis)
Film Series
The Urge for Survival: Kaneto Shindo (Friday through Thursday) Best known in the West for his grim, unsettling period thriller “Onibaba” (1964), Mr. Shindo is a protean filmmaker whose work often circles the bombing of Hiroshima, the city where he was born in 1912. This 11-film retrospective, which continues through May 5, is sponsored by the actor Benicio Del Toro, who will appear with the director’s son, Jiro Shindo, to introduce Friday’s 6:50 p.m. screening of “The Naked Island,” an allegorical account of a family’s struggle for survival on a small island. The series will include rarely seen works from all periods of Mr. Shindo’s long career, including the 1952 “Children of Hiroshima” (which is being screened daily through Thursday) and “Postcard,” the 2010 feature that Mr. Shindo, who will turn 99 on Thursday, has said will be his last. BAM Rose Cinemas, 30 Lafayette Avenue, at Ashland Place, Fort Greene , (718) 636-4100, bam.org; $12; $25 for “The Naked Island,” with proceeds going to the earthquake relief effort in Japan.
