“ALLE JUDEN RAUS! (ALL JEWS OUT!)”(Germany; Emanuel Rund; Nuart, 7 p.m.). This documentary about the return of Holocaust survivors to their small German hometown has moments of agonizing effectiveness. Particularly moving are home movies of the family, before the Holocaust ignited: a little girl romping with her father, the same woman, now in her 50s, recalling his murder in the camps. (Peter Rainer)
“102 BOULEVARD HAUSSMAN”(Great Britain; Udayan Prasad; Nuart, 9 p.m.). Writer Alan Bennett concocted this fascinating reverie about Marcel Proust and his fixation on a comely viola player. Since Proust is played by Alan Bates, the film is always mesmerizing, even if it’s--perhaps intentionally--a trifle absurd. Proust mooning over his violist, sniffling and scribbling his “Remembrance,” is material fit for Monty Python. (P.R.)
