SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies: In-person!
DESCRIPTION:  \nLandmark Cinema (2828 North Clark Street) \nMembers & guests: $11.50 (click here to purchase) \nSaturday Afternoon at the Movies is going to … the movies! Join the group for the 1:30 PM showing of A Complete Unknown (2024) at the Landmark Century Cinema. The Bob Dylan biopic with Timothee Chalamet as Dylan and others (some recognizable) playing other 1960s performers you’ll surely know. The film covers Dylan’s life from 1961-66. Chalamet’s performance\, say many critics\, is hypnotic. The 60s\, the birth of folk rock\, Ed Norton as Pete Seeger — how can you resist. After the film\, the group will meet in the bar area of the theatre to discuss. No drink purchase required. \n
