Film can shine a spotlight into the darkest shadows of our collective psyche, much like how the midday sun gives passing strangers the power to see through your clothes. See what the silver screen reveals with today’s Groupon. For $15, you get two tickets, two large sodas, and two large popcorns (up to a $33 value) at a/perture cinema on West Fourth Street. Opened in January, a/perture’s two intimate, 80-seat theaters showcase a carefully chosen crop of independent, art, foreign, documentary, and local films, as well as occasional special events and festivals. Bring a film buff friend or humorously mismatched buddy cop and catch one of the theater’s current talkies—_The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest_, Stone, and Inside Job. Otherwise, bide your time for Danny Boyle’s buzz-making 127 Hours and Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, both screening in December.
