the Visitor (2007) Widescreen - 3285

Written and directed by Thomas McCarthy, THE VISITOR is a relentlessly melancholy tale of a semi-retired college professor who still mourns the death of his concert pianist wife. Sent to NYC to deliver a lecture on a paper he supposedly wrote (but didn't), he discovers a couple have taken up residence in his little-used mid-town apartment. Both are in the U.S. illegally. The man is an African drum player from Syria, the woman a Senegalese craftsmaker. Somehow all three become friends. One afternoon following a music session in the park, the Syrian is wrongly arrested on the subway for turnstile jumping. He's held by INS for deportation and his mom arrives from Detroit to try to prevent this. The professor falls in love with her, but the story does not end happily for anyone. Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll rating. (7.8) The Visitor (2007) - Richard Jenkins/Haaz Slieman/Danai Gurira/Hiam Abbass/Richard Kind
