See this film: The Observers @ the Brattle

Published Nov 14 2011, 12:00 PM by Peter Keough

Unlike Werner Herzog, New Hampshire filmmaker Jacqueline Goss didn't need to go to Antarctica to experience the end of the world. Instead she climbed the highest peak of her home state's White Mountains for her feature The Observers. It's a visually stunning, bleakly evocative adaptation of "The Great Carbuncle," Nathaniel Hawthorne's allegorical short story about wrong-headed ambition that's set at the wind-blasted Mt. Washington Weather Observatory. The ever-inventive folks of Balagan will be screening the film at the Brattle Theatre and Goss will be on hand for a Q&A. The Brattle is at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Tuesday, November 15 @ 7:30 pm | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
