Friday movie matinee: ‘Woman in Gold’

Friday, Oct. 23, 1:15 p.m.

The movie follows Maria, an elderly Jewish woman, as she attempts to reclaim family possessions that were seized by the Nazis. Among them is a famous portrait of her beloved Aunt Adele: Gustave Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.” With the help of young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds), Maria embarks upon a lengthy legal battle to recover this painting and several others, but it will not be easy, for Austria considers them national treasures.
