“The Master” - A 2012 American drama film starring Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Laura Dern. The film’s central relationship – and riddle – concerns a troubled World War II vet named Freddie Quell (Phoenix), who’s struggling to adjust to a post-war society, and a charismatic sect leader named Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman), whose friends and followers call him Master. He’s the leader of a philosophical movement known as “The Cause” who sees something in Quell and accepts him into the movement. Quell takes a liking to The Cause and begins traveling with Dodd along the East Coast to spread the teachings. Shows today and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Global Cinema Café series. Panida Theater, 300 N. First Ave., Sandpoint. $7/adults, $6/seniors and students. (208) 263-9191.
