1999: The Year in Film

1999 is now heralded as one of the most groundbreaking years in modern cinema history. We'll look at the game-changing films that came out that year (like The Matrix, Fight Club),  movies that collapsed under the weight of their hype (The Phantom Menace, Wild Wild West), and films that have become beloved classics (The Mummy, The Iron Giant)
All this and Sofia Coppola makes her debut with The Virgin Suicides in this 25th anniversary spectacular!

 

Shakespeare on Screen

William Shakespeare has inspired many films, and we're going to look at a few of them. We'll discuss which adaptations work, which don't, why Shakespeare seems to go with any time period, and maybe answer an ago-old question: what is the best Shakespeare adaptation ever made?

 

 

This program will be presented via Zoom.

 

Film Group

Please join us for an online discussion of Independent, Foreign, and Classic films. We will watch the film at home and gather to discuss it!
