Why Go: Little, Big is a musical and artistic collaboration between singer/artist Dana Young and musician/composer Chuck Meyer, who originally met on a Brooklyn street corner in 2007. Dana’s wide range and pop sensibility meshed perfectly with Chuck’s hook-driven lead bass. After adding Chuck’s drum loops and Dana’s illustrations, Little, Big emerged as a new, more playful take on being a rock band.
Cost: $8

Why Go: Directed by Maurice Pialat in 1972 and starring Marlène Jobert, Jean Yanne and Christine Fabréga, We Won’t Grow Old Together is “a wrenching account of emotional masochism.” Pialat’s autobiographical film tells a story of a relationship in a downward spiral, with Yanne (who won the best actor award at Cannes for this role) as a domineering and philandering filmmaker whose behavior threatens to destroy his relationships with both his wife and mistress (Marlène Jobert of Godard’s Masculin Féminin).
