SUMMARY:La Belle Epoque - 1:00pm
DESCRIPTION:[fullwidth ] \n[col_one ] \n \nLa Belle Époque\nWritten and Directed by: Nicolas Bedos\nCast: Daniel Auteuil\, Guillaume Canet\, Doria Tillier\, Fanny Ardant\nComedy/Drama | 100 min. | 14A for mature/sexual content | 115 min. | French with English subtitles | France \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \nSCREENING:\nFriday\, October 25 – 7:00 pm [GALA NIGHT]\nSunday\, October 27 – 1:00 pm \n\n“A sweet\, inventive Richard Curtis-style romantic-comedy crowdpleaser that deftly balances hearty laughs and heartwarming emotion.” – Allan Hunter\, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL \n  \n“Where so many high-concept romantic comedies squander their one big idea\, “La Belle Époque” leverages its own to remind how and why we fall in love in the first place…” – Peter Debruge\, VARIETY \n  \nIngenious and hilarious by turns\, actor-turned-director Nicolas Bedos’ marvellous dramatic comedy takes the sci-fi concept of time travel\, brings it down to earth\, and gives it a sexy dose of flesh and blood in a very smart and provocative (even “meta”) fashion. Cynical 70ish cartoonist Victor (a superb Daniel Auteuil)\, his marriage to the tart-tongued Marianne (Fanny Ardant) in shambles\, and his best days seemingly behind him\, becomes intrigued by his son’s friend Antoine’s (Guillaume Canet) latest successful enterprise. Antoine’s “Time Travellers” troupe offers clients the chance to go back in time to any moment they wish\, and the TT team of actors and technicians guarantees a completely realistic immersion in the era chosen. Victor accepts Antoine’s offer of a free trial – and chooses to go back to the day in 1974 when he originally met Marianne in a raucous Lyon bistro. Suffice it to say that when the shaggy-haired “younger” Victor goes back to said Lyon bistro and meets waitress Margot (Doria Tillier\, Bedos’ real-life companion)\, who happens to be Antoine’s partner when she’s not acting\, more than just sparks fly… (VIFF 2019) \n  \nNOMINATED – Best Feature\, Hamburg Film Festival\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best International Film\, Haifa International Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIZS6AT98FI” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

Woven together with a rich collection of art\, history\, literature and personality\, the film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works\, including novels “The Bluest Eye\,” “Sula” and “Song of Solomon\,” her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. \n  \n3 WINS\, 1 NOMINATION: \nWON – Audience Award-U.S. Documentary\, Cinetopia Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Local Heroes Competition\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Audience Award-Best Documentary Feature\, Wisconsin Film Festival\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best Documentary\, Miami Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LzCF6djpz4″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

SUMMARY:Sometimes Always Never - 6:30pm
DESCRIPTION:[fullwidth ] \n[col_one ] \n \nSometimes Always Never\nDirected by: Carl Hunter\nCast: Bill Nighy\, Sam Riley\, Alice Rowe\, Tim McInnerny\, Jenny Agutter\nComedy/Drama/Mystery | PG for coarse language | 91 min. | United Kingdom \n  \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \nSCREENING:\nSaturday\, October 19 – 5:15 pm\nSunday\, October 27 – 6:30 pm \n  \n“A distinct\, articulate pleasure.” – Peter Bradshaw\, The Guardian \n“The kind of role Nighy was born to play.” – Joni Blyth – One Room With a View \n  \n“Screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce\, who adapted the film from his own short story\, has crafted a joy of a script\, which seeds its themes as elegantly as Nighy’s character\, Alan\, a Scrabble-obsessed tailor\, wears his suits.” – Wendy Ide\, Observer (UK) \nAble to blend charming gruffness and winning affability with just the raise of an eyebrow\, Bill Nighy has long proven himself one of Britain’s best character actors\, and now he stars alongside Sam Riley and Alice Lowe in this stylish and heartfelt comedy-drama about a tailor searching for a lost son. Sharp of both suit and vocabulary\, Nighy (The Bookshop)\, is winningly deadpan as Scrabble-obsessed Merseyside tailor Alan\, whose eldest son Michael stormed out of the house after a particularly heated round of the popular board game\, never to return. Years later\, Alan and his other son Peter (Sam Riley) continue the search while trying to repair their own strained relationship. Working from a witty and astute script by veteran screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce (The Railway Man\, Goodbye Christopher Robin)\, director Carl Hunter deploys a vivid visual style and striking production design to capture the shifting moods of a family who know plenty of words but struggle to communicate. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22R-JQRov_U” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]
