SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free\nStreaming on Amazon for $3.79 to rent and $14.99 to own & other platforms \nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth discussion of films new and old\, led by Village member Mel Washburn. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \nThis week the group is watching Say Anything (1989)\, 1hr 40min\, Rot. Tom. 98%\n\nWe’re continuing with another Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) film. This 1989 film is much more than an average teenage romance. High school senior John Cusak(a well-liked optimist with no future plans) asks out the beautiful valedictorian Ione Skye and\, to everyone’s surprise\, she says yes. Heralded as a really well-written script (Cameron Crowe — Jerry Maguire\, Vanilla Sky)\, with extraordinary acting\, particularly by John Mahoney as the father. If the film ever seems sophomoric\, stick with it. The dialog’s amazing.

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free \nAvailable to rent for $3\,99 or buy for $9.99 on Amazon \nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth discussion of films new and old\, led by Village member Mel Washburn. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \nThis week’s film is The Taste of Things: 2023\, 2hr 16min\, R.T. 97%\, \nSet in the late 1800s\, the film is a love story between a head chef (Benoît Magimel) and his cook (Juliette Binoche). But more so\, it’s a romance with food. Much of the film takes place in the kitchen with little to no dialogue. If you like French cooking and Juliette Binoche (who doesn’t)\, you’ll love this movie. The film won best director at  the Cannes Film Fest\, and was France’s choice in the Academy Award’s best foreign film category. Thirty years before this film\, Director Tran Anh Hung (Vietnamese)’s debut film The Scent of Green Papaya was nominated for a best foreign film Oscar. Guess he makes great films about food. Bon appetit and Happy Bastille Week!
