The roots of Iran’s volatile relationship with Britain and America have never been so forensically and dramatically exposed. \n\n\n\nCOUP 53 is a politically explosive and cinematically innovative documentary that grips like a thriller. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Taghi Amirani\n Year: 2019\n Country: United Kingdom\n Runtime: 118 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/coup-53/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/coup-53.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221229T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221229T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T223216 CREATED:20221109T023625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221109T023628Z UID:10000678-1672340400-1672347600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Slap Shot DESCRIPTION:In the small New England town of Charlestown\, the local mill is about to lay off 10\,000 workers. The town’s minor league hockey team\, the Charlestown Chiefs\, is doing no better. After years of failure\, this will be the team’s last season. Exasperated player and coach Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman) lets the club’s recent acquisitions\, the Hanson Brothers\, play. The brothers’ actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans.

However\, their director dies and is replaced at the last minute by the glowering apparatchik Comrade Ogurtsov… and he doesn’t like any of it. But the show must go on\, and the kids resolve to run the party as planned—with or without Ogurtsov’s approval. \n\n\n\nCARNIVAL NIGHT is a warm\, jazzy spectacle and comedy that ushered in the post-Stalin period by taking satirical stabs at grey-faced\, finger wagging Party functionaries\, and giving a generous bow to the new generation.
