Fri 2 Jan to Thu 8 Jan, 12-11 pm. Antarctica Gay romantic comedy from Israel Opens January 2 in San Francisco and Berkeley Regent Releasing presents Antarctica, opening Friday, January 2, 2009, at Landmark’s Lumiere Theatre in San Francisco and Landmark’s Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley. Director Yair Hochner gives us a wacky comedy that ignores politics altogether while focusing on its characters’ domestic and romantic problems. And no one has more problems than gay siblings Shirley and Omer. Omer is almost thirty and still hasn’t found himself — or the man of his dreams. A series of disastrous blind dates hasn’t helped. Shirley is a little younger and has already nabbed her dream woman, Michal, owner of the hippest café in town (and Shirley’s boss). But the thought of settling down scares.
