Director Ang Lee creates a groundbreaking movie event about a young man who survives a disaster at sea and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an amazing and unexpected connection with another survivor…a fearsome Bengal tiger.
“Mr. Lee’s film is stronger as a visual experience-especially in 3-D-than an emotional one, but it has a final plot twist that may also change what you thought you knew about the ancient art of storytelling.”- Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal
“This transcendent fable carries a real sting in its tail. Ang Lee has made a bold and wondrous movie, one of his best.”- Tom Charity CNN
FILM CLUB
Have you ever wished you had the opportunity to talk about a film with other audience members while it’s still fresh in your mind?
We surely have! So, to allow those conversations to happen, we introduce FILM CLUB. Much like what a book club is for readers, FILM CLUB is for film-goers — an hour or so after various films throughout the summer that will allow you to analyze, discuss and contemplate the film you just watched.
FILM CLUB will meet after various first-run features at the Film Center throughout the summer, but also after classic film fare at the Capawock.
We are excited to announce a partnership with the Bunch of Grapes Bookstore on a series of great films based on great books. Each post-screening discussion will include discussion about the differences (and similarities) between the book and the movie version of the story, as well as analysis of the movie as a stand-alone piece of work.
