Weekend movies: art house edition

The World

Even though “Surrogates” and “Fame” debut this weekend, it’s the art house films that have stolen the hearts of The Takeaway’s movie reviewers: Rafer Guzman, film critic for Newsday, and Karina Longworth, editor of Spout. They introduce us to Anne Fontaine’s film “Coco Before Chanel,” starring Audrey Tautou, about the famous fashion designer before she was an icon. They also look at “Disgrace,” the screen adaptation of the novel by J.M. Coetzee, starring John Malkovich, and “Blind Date,” starrring Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson.
