DESCRIPTION:\n	First ever theatrical release of the newly restored film on 
 its 50th anniversary \n	\n\n\n	Dirs. Gordon Quinn\, Gerald Temaner. 1968\,
  66 mins. Newly restored 16mm print. Music by Philip Glass. Two young nuns
  crisscross Chicago\, approaching strangers on the street\, as well as in 
 parking lots\, the Art Institute\, and churches\, asking the simple questi
 on\, “Are you happy?” They meet a lonely girl\, a happy mother\, young lov
 ers\, hippie musicians\, a sociologist\, and even the actor Lincoln Perry\
 , better known as Stepin Fetchit\, now on hard times. The interviewees are
  sometimes taken aback\, nervous\, or clamoring to get into view of the ca
 mera. Each interview is a complete and thoughtful piece of the person’s li
 fe\, with no intercutting. The humor and sadness of these honest encounter
 s lift the film beyond its experimental conceit into a serious and moving 
 inquiry into contemporary society and the circumstances under which people
  examine their lives. A fascinating work of cinema verite by Gordon Quinn 
 and Gerald Temaner\, co-founders of Kartemquin Films\, Inquiring Nuns also
  features the first credited film score by Philip Glass. A Kartemquin Film
 s and Argot Pictures release. \n\n\n	“Inquiring Nuns is the closest thing 
 to a ‘pure’ documentary that I have ever seen.” — William Routt\, Film Qua
 rterly\, 1968 \n\n\n	'A lovely\, weirdly potent time capsule... a single\,
  polyphonic ode to late '67 Chicago and what was on the mind of its collec
 tive citizenry.' — Michael Phillips\, Chicago Tribune\, 2016 \n\n\n	Alongs
 ide Inquiring Nuns\, the Museum will present other groundbreaking 'man on 
 the street' films from the 1960s: Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin's Chronicle o
 f a Summer (1961) on November 24 and Chris Marker and Pierre Lhomme's Le J
 oli Mai (1963) on November 25. \n	\n	\n	Tickets: $15 ($7 Museum members /
