Behind the Scenes: A Movie Club

Monday June 14, 2021
1:00 PM until 2:00 PM


Virtual Meetup - Second and Fourth Mondays of the Month - 1:00 PM

 
More than entertaining stories to be viewed from a sofa and then benignly forgotten, cinema is an art form rich in expression and worthy of our time and attention.
 
Join Brandon for a fun discussion of a variety of films from John Wayne to Shirley Temple as we look "behind the scenes" to unpack each selection's historical significance, stylistic choices, and meanings.
 
You may laugh, you may cry, you may even raise an eyebrow and wonder "What was that?", but you'll certainly be affected. They don't call 'em moving pictures for nothing!
 
 
This week's selection: My Own Private Idaho (1991)
 
In this loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry IV, Mike Waters (River Phoenix) is a hustler afflicted with narcolepsy.  Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves) is the rebellious son of a mayor. Together, the two travel from Portland, Oregon to Idaho and finally to the coast of Italy in a quest to find Mike's estranged mother.  (Rotten Tomatoes)
