Anna has everything she thought she could ever need: a respectable career, a caring family, and a loving partner, Alessio. But when she meets Domenico, a handsome, married waiter, her neatly ordered world begins to fall apart. They quickly fall into a heated affair, based on secret meetings, stolen caresses, cell phone fights, and endless lies. Anna’s increasingly distant behavior goes unnoticed by Alessio, while Domenico’s wife becomes steadily more suspicious of her husband. As the two lovers begin to fall deeper under the spell of passion, they are faced with a life-changing choice, which neither is entirely prepared to make. Italian and French with English subtitles. The film screens on Friday, January 14 at 9:15 p.m.; Saturday, January 15 at 5:30 and 10:15 p.m.; and Sunday, January 16 at 6 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff.

Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist, and ecological activist. In Vision, New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta reunites with recurrent star Barbara Sukowa to bring the story of this extraordinary woman to life. In a staggering performance, Sukowa portrays von Bingen’s fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of women within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God. French and Latin with English subtitles. The film screens on Friday, January 14 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, January 15 at 3:15 and 8 p.m.; Sunday, January 16 at 3:45 and 8:30 p.m.; and Monday, January 17 at 5 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. For more information or to buy tickets online, visit www.cosfordcinema.com; or call the box office at 305-284-4861.
