AT THE MOVIES
Makes you go hmmm …
“Absurdistan” is a place where magical and bizarre events merge, but men and women don’t. Fed up by their lazy men and a pending water shortage, the town’s women vow, “No water, no sex.” Hilarity ensues. Not rated. 1 hour, 28 minutes.
Who’s playing whom?
Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star in “Duplicity” as clandestine lovers and corporate spies, willing to double-cross their colleagues — and each other — to win a corporate death match. Apparently, all’s still fair in love and war. PG-13. 1 hour, 58 minutes.
HOMEBODIES
Do the time warp (again)
In “Synecdoche, New York,” Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Caden, an insecure, alienated proxy for humankind, who lives either 50 years or a few minutes in this movie’s twisted time scheme. You decide. R. 2 hours, 5 minutes.
Touching adaptation
“Elegy” is based on Phillip Roth’s brutal book “The Dying Animal.” In it, an older teacher, played by Ben Kingsley, recollects his virility-seeking but soulless affair with a younger woman. Angry attempt to defy aging is the new 50! R. 1 hour, 46 minutes.
