Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance Critics' Pick

$10, students $5
If you missed two screenings at the Siskel, catch Mavericks in Evanston, where its encore comes courtesy of the Talking Pictures Festival. The 90-minute film favors heavily the first half of the Joffrey Ballet's 56-year history, and feels increasingly promotional as it approaches the present. Nevertheless, the archival footage and interviews it offers are essential viewing for ballet fans.
