Lumières Françaises Film Festival comes to The Main this week, bringing not only several promising new films, but the most recent winner of the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound film poll, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, which is nearly a full half-hour longer than the new Mission Impossible movie. If you'll scan these listings, though, you'll see that conservative pundit George Will once nominated another movie as the GOAT.
