OPENING THIS WEEK
(3 CHILES) EVERLASTING MOMENTS Based on the life of one of director Jan Troell's relatives, this is the story of Maria Larsson (Maria Heiskanen), a Finnish native living in early-20th-century Sweden. When her family needs money, she tries to sell her Contessa camera to Sebastian Pedersen (Jesper Christensen), but he convinces her to learn to use it instead. Though a somewhat stereotypical art- house film, full of gritty, grim, but beautifully rendered realism, this intimate story is captivating and rewarding. Not rated. 131 minutes. In Swedish with subtitles. CCA Cinematheque, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) See review, Page XX
