Accidents Happen, starring Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis, is a wickedly funny and surprisingly moving fable of family, fate, and misfortune in American suburbia. The manicured lawns of 1980s New England imply an order that simply doesn’t exist for the Conway family, headed by razor-tongued Gloria. Youngest son Billy has been a witness to a series of tragic accidents, including one that fractured his whole family. Always the good boy, Billy takes up with the neighborhood troublemaker in acts of delicious delinquency in a world already spinning out of control. The ensuing collision of guilt, truth, and self-discovery may be just what his family needs to move on. The film screens on Friday, July 23 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, July 24 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, July 25 at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff; free for UM students. General admission is $8. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.

Breathless is Jean-Luc Godard’s 1960 jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for the French film magazine Cahiers du cinéma. With its deliberate lack of polish, anything-goes crime narrative, abundance of attitude, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, Breathless helped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same. In French and English with English subtitles. The film screens on Friday, July 23 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, July 24 at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.; and Sunday, July 25 at 7 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff; free for UM students. General admission is $8. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
