Monday Movie @ your Library December 17, 2007

The Island (2006; 112 min, not rated)
In a small Russian Orthodox monastery lives an unusual monk, who considers himself unworthy because of a sin he committed in his youth. Those who visit the island believe that the man has the power to heal, exorcise demons, and foretell the future. The film is a parable about sin and salvation, combining the realities of Russian everyday life with monastic ritual.
In Russian with English subtitles.
Monday, December 17, 7 p.m. at the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Avenue. Free.
