Saturday, November 4, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeMembers & guests–free. Online RSVP for this program has ended; to join please contact the Village at 773.248.8700.
Every 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.
This week’s film is Pleasantville. From Wikipedia: “A 1998 American teen fantasy comedy-drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Gary Ross. It stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Daniels, Joan Allen, William H. Macy, J. T. Walsh, and Reese Witherspoon, with Don Knotts, Paul Walker, Marley Shelton and Jane Kaczmarek in supporting roles. The story centers on two siblings who wind up trapped in a 1950s TV show, set in a small Midwest town, where residents are seemingly perfect.”
If you choose to watch the movie before the discussion, it is available on HBO Max (free with subscription) and Amazon Prime (from $2.99)
