SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:BROOKLYN 2015 117 Minutes \nFaithfully adapted from Colm Tóibín’s novel\, this film relates New York’s ongoing immigration experience\, as seen through the eyes of Ellis Lacey\, a young Irish woman. Played by Saoirse Ronan in her breakout performance\, Ellis leaves her small town in County Wexford for better prospects in early ‘50s Brooklyn.

With Domhnal Gleeson\, Emory Cohen\, Julie Walters\, and Jim Broadbent. \nBE ADVISED: This film is rated PG-13\, with period smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, and sensuality\, as well as Irish difficulties with swimwear.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Playboys
DESCRIPTION:Join Doc Crane every Thursday at the AIC for a film and discussion. These events are free and open to the public. \nTHE PLAYBOYS\, 1992 117 minutes  \nRobin Wright plays Tara Maguire\, an unwed mother living in a small village near the border of Northern Ireland in 1957. At turns shamed and courted by her neighbors\, Tara rebuffs all comers\, including the local constable\, played by a brooding Albert Finney. Into Tara’s village comes a ramshackle traveling theater company run by Milo O’Shea and Aidan Quinn\, bringing mayhem as well as a breath of life. Against her better judgment\, Tara is soon drawn to the roguish Aidan Quinn\, stirring the ire of Finney’s constable. Intense and passionate in a Hibernian way\, The Playboys captures rural Ireland on the edge of change­­ with even the theatre troupe sensing that their days are numbered with television encroaching on its traditional domain. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, violence (including suicide)\, sexuality\, nudity\, smuggling\, and over-the-top “theatre folk.”

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Ondine
DESCRIPTION:ONDINE 2009\, 111 minutes \nNo series involving Ireland would be complete without one film that touches upon the mythic. Ondine does this\, but in a sardonic way\, updated to the era of the European Union. Set on the coast of County Cork\, Colin Farrell plays a bedraggled fisherman named Syracuse\, whose sobriety is as tenuous as the respect his neighbors hold for him. One day Syracuse finds a woman in his fishing nets and his ailing daughter is convinced the woman is a legendary selkie––shorn of her seal-skin and returned to land speaking in a strange accent. What follows is a tale of redemption\, with Syracuse the fisherman struggling to believe in fables when he hardly believes in himself. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexuality\, nudity\, violence\, and one very acid-tongued alum of Ballykissangel.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: My Left Foot
DESCRIPTION:MY LEFT FOOT  1989\, 103 minutes \nIn this extraordinary film Daniel Day Lewis plays Christy Brown\, who was born in Depression-era Dublin to a family of 22 children––thirteen of whom survived infancy. That Christy Brown himself survived is something of a miracle as he was diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy.  Unable to speak or move any part of his body except his left foot\, Christy was initially considered beyond hope by everyone except his mother. But at an early age Christy demonstrated he was indeed aware\, and with fierce determination he learned to write and paint amidst the rough and tumble dynamic of his working-class family. \nIn scenes that are as tough as they are inspiring\, Christy develops into a hard-headed\, sharp-eyed artist\, and when one considers his upbringing took place when a disability was considered a moral failing\, the story is that much more striking. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, sexuality\, profanity\, violence\, familial mayhem\, self-hatred and one suicide attempt.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Matchmaker
DESCRIPTION:THE MATCHMAKER  1997\, 97 minutes \nWith St. Patrick’s soon upon us\, Irish rom-coms can be a tricky thing. John Ford’s 1952 classic The Quiet Man now comes across as so brutal it should have a restraining order slapped on it. Nor has the recent crop been all that promising. Wild Mountain Thyme has some good moments\, mostly connected to Emily Blunt’s singing\, but Christopher Walken’s Lucky Charms accent is so cringe inducing\, one wishes he had just played his role as a New Yorker retired to Ireland. \nThat said\, The Matchmaker certainly isn’t perfect. It’s gratuitously potty-mouthed and depends too much on slapstick\, but when it connects\, it’s wonderful. Janeane Garofalo is at her acerbic best as a senatorial aide sent to Ireland to boost her boss’s appeal to Irish-American voters. Arriving amidst a raucous bridal fair\, Garofalo tries to find relatives of the Senator\, only to cross paths with roguish local matchmaker Milo O’Shea\, who inveigles her into the romantic jostling. When the Senator arrives with his shameless campaign manager Dennis Leary expecting a media event\, Irish and Irish-American cultures collide and find a Hibernian kind of love along the way. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, fraternal mayhem\, unsubtle sexual innuendo\, and LOTS of profanity (Saxon words pronounced in Irish and Boston accents)

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Belfast
DESCRIPTION:BELFAST  2021\, 98 minutes \nDirected by Kenneth Branagh and based his own childhood experiences in 1969 Northern Ireland\, this film chronicles a working-class Protestant family as seen through the eyes of Buddy\, a nine-year-old boy. With his parents trying to make ends meet and not to get caught up in the escalating strife\, Buddy feels the pressure to “take a side” while at same time befriending a Catholic girl. With solid performances from Jamie Dornan\, Caitríona Balfe\, Judi Dench\, and Jude Hill as young Buddy\, Belfast is both heartbreaking and inspiring as it depicts people trying holding on to their better angels amidst snowballing hatred. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexual innuendo\, and all the violence and mayhem connected to the Troubles.

DESCRIPTION:CIRCLE OF FRIENDS  1995\, 103 minutes \nBased on the novel by Maeve Binchy\, this coming-of-age film opens in the small 1950s town of Knockglen.

All three find their way to university in Dublin\, where they encounter varying degrees of love\, heartbreak\, and enlightenment. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, mild profanity\, an accidental injury\, sexual quandaries of a family way\, and a very creepy Alan Cumming.

Having arrived in New York only to discover that his country is having a violent coup\, Viktor finds himself in bureaucratic limbo––unable to enter the US or return home. But Viktor is a resourceful soul with his initial wanderings up and down the concourses becoming the first steps toward a community of fellow travelers. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, bullying\, threatened self-harm\, and unauthorized use of luggage-scanners.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Thin Man
DESCRIPTION:THE THIN MAN 1934\, 91 minutes \nFor the week before Valentine’s Day\, we screened a number of films depicting a romantic New York. We decided to go with a classic involving a married couple whose chemistry is so engaging and effortless that for years many people assumed that William Powell and Myrna Loy were actually married. The film is a comedic whodunit\, involving a retired detective and his socialite wife who find themselves solving a crime. Along the way\, two engage in rapid-fire pre-Hays Code banter while celebrating the end of Prohibition at every turn. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is TV-PG\, with smoking\, copious amounts of drinking\, off-screen murder\, and a Wire Fox Terrier trying to steal scenes.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Radio Days
DESCRIPTION:RADIO DAYS 1987\, 88 minutes \nTo do a New York On-Screen series without a Woody Allen film is like depicting FDR without the cigarette holder or the Titanic without the Iceberg. Toxic analogies aside\, he is obviously a problematic figure\, but seeing how there are bigger\, louder New Yorkers who have done nasty things and retired to the Sunbelt\, we might as well show one of his films. The question is–– which Woody? \nThere are the obvious choices: his breakthrough Annie Hall or Manhattan\, which celebrated the city but also presaged his demons. The choice has not been an easy one\, but we decided to go with Radio Days\, a nostalgic comedy-drama about an extended working-class family on Rockaway Beach in Queens during the Golden Age of Radio. Although not part of the cast\, Allen narrates the film from the perspective of Joe\, a boy whose world is shaped by the family radio––its music and programs emanating from glittering\, far-away Manhattan. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG with smoking\, drinking\, mild profanity\, off-screen violence\, sexuality\, nudity\, lots of kvetching\, and Woody Allen.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Automat
DESCRIPTION:THE AUTOMAT 2021 79 minutes \nBefore there was McDonald’s\, before there was Howard Johnson’s\, there was Horn & Hardart’s Automat\, once the largest restaurant chain in America. The Automats were essentially cafeterias with food portions behind coin-operated glass doors\, which may not sound all that appetizing from today’s perspective\, but from the 1920s to the ‘50s New Yorkers saw them as the height of modernity\, and by most accounts the food was good. This documentary is full of fond memories about the rise and fall of a Gotham institution\, with reminiscences from Mel Brooks\, Colin Powell\, Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, Carl Reiner\, Elliott Gould\, and Howard Schultz. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated TV-PG\, with drinking\, mostly profanity\, sexual overtones\, urban decline\, 5-cent coffee\, well-remembered pie\, and Mel Brooks singing.

SUMMARY:Chasing Me to My Grave: Conversation with Lillian Rembert and Pulitzer Prize winner Erin I. Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Jan 18 (7pm-8pm) Weston Town Hall Auditorium \n\nLillian Rembert and Erin I. Kelly\, in conversation with one another\, will discuss Winfred Rembert’s memoir\, Chasing Me To My Grave: An Artists’s Memoir of the Jim Crow South\, as told to Erin I. Kelly (Bloomsbury\, 2021). In 2022 Chasing Me To My Grave was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in the category of biography. This special event will feature Lillian and Erin’s reflections about the book and Winfred’s life. They will also present slides of his remarkable paintings on leather. \nWinfred Rembert (1945-2021) grew up in Cuthbert\, Georgia\, where he picked cotton as a child. As a teen-ager\, he got involved in the civil-rights movement and was arrested in the aftermath of a demonstration. He later broke out of jail\, survived a near-lynching\, and spent seven years in prison\, where he was forced to labor on chain gangs. Following his release\, in 1974\, he married Patsy\, and they eventually set¬tled in New Haven\, Connecticut. At the age of fifty-one\, with Patsy’s en¬couragement\, he began carving and painting memories from his youth onto leather\, using leather-tooling skills he had learned in prison. His paintings on carved and tooled leather have been exhibited at museums and galleries across the country and compared to the work of Jacob Lawrence\, Romare Beardon\, and Horace Pippin. Rembert was honored by the Equal Justice Initiative in 2015 and awarded an United States Artists Barr Fellowship in 2016. \nLillian Rembert is Winfred Rembert’s daughter. She lives in New Haven\, CT. \nErin I. Kelly is Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University and co-author of Chasing Me to My Grave. She is also the author of The Limits of Blame: Rethinking Punishment and Responsibility (Harvard University Press\, 2018). She writes and speaks about ethics and social justice\, especially in connection with criminal law. \nThis event will be held at the Weston Town Hall Auditorium.  \nListen to the book free with your library card on Hoopla: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14952839 \nPlease register as space is limited.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Thomas Crown Affair
DESCRIPTION:THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR 1999\, 113 minutes \nAs cinematic confections go\, the two Thomas Crown Affairs are notable in that they are windows into the times that made them. The first film\, released in 1968 and set in Boston with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway\, is an exercise in mid-sixties cool. But in the story of a bored tycoon who stages a robbery for kicks\, only to find himself falling for the investigator\, there was a distinct sense ennui from that period. \nIn the 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo\, there is no languor whatsoever\, as the film embraces Giuliani’s New York in all its hubristic glory\, with the city coming across as flush\, fun\, benign\, and safe––an illusion that would be swept away two years later. But the film is undeniably buoyant\, with Brosnan’s unflappable\, unknowable billionaire meeting his match in Rene Russo’s insurance investigator. If Faye Dunaway played the role in 1968 as the embodiment of glam\, Russo is a force of nature\, determined to bring down Thomas Crown––all the while enjoying the chase until their affections catch up with them. The third star of the film is Dennis Leary\, his acerbic persona in top form as a jaundiced but ethical police detective who provides a reality check as Brosnan and Russo’s cat-and-mouse romance grows ever more intense. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexuality\, nudity\, art theft\, corporate leveraging\, musical appropriation\, getting tasered\, and snagging a seat at Cipriani’s without a reservation.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: Moonstruck
DESCRIPTION:MOONSTRUCK 1987 102 minutes \nWith broad\, vibrant brushstrokes\, Norman Jewison directed this film starring Cher as an Italian-American widow faced with a second chance at love. Set in Brooklyn Heights amidst a tradition-bound family\, Cher’s character is engaged to Danny Aiello but finds a soul-mate in his brother\, Nicholas Cage and needless to say\, complications arise on the road to Amore. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG\, with smoking\, drinking\, infidelity\, mild profanity and lots of red sauce.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: The Age of Innocence
DESCRIPTION:THE AGE OF INNOCENCE 1993 139 minutes \nFor a man who has made his name depicting the gritty underside of New York\, it would seem strange that Martin Scorcese would want to adapt Edith Wharton’s novel about polite society in 1870s Manhattan\, but beneath the gilded manners of the Victorian Era lurked social instincts as harsh anything found in his gangster films. \nDaniel Day-Lewis plays Newland Archer\, an upstanding attorney engaged to young Winona Ryder and a comfortable\, compartmentalized life lies before them\, with his creative and intellectual interests discretely kept private. But when Archer encounters his fiancé’s cousin\, who is being ostracized for having fled a disastrous marriage to an abusive Polish count\, he takes a stand on her behalf. Archer soon finds a kindred spirit in the radiant Countess\, played by Michelle Pfeiffer\, and with each mannered and mindful interaction they are drawn to each other. But passion––let alone divorce––in that period was the stuff of scandal\, and the cost of social banishment could be dire\, as Scorcese depicts amidst lush imagery and resonant performances. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, glimpses of nudity and otherwise nasty behavior among the Four Hundred.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Bell\, Book and Candle
DESCRIPTION:BELL\, BOOK and CANDLE\,  1958 106 minutes \nIt takes a lot to make New Yorkers flinch\, and in Christmastime Greenwich Village\, a circle of witches amidst the Beatniks and Bohemians raises nary an eyebrow. If anything\, buttoned-down publisher James Stewart stands out\, catching the eye of shop-owner witch Kim Novak\, who casts an enchantment spell on him­ with the help of her bongo-playing warlock brother Jack Lemmon and ditzy aunt\, Elsa Lancaster. Stewart soon finds himself bewitched\, bothered\, and bewildered––learning fast that a sorceress’ love is a complicated thing. \nIs this a silly movie? Absolutely––as it’s a Hollywood take on ‘exotic’ non-conformism playing off against uptight fifties ‘togetherness.’ \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated TV-PG\, with smoking\, drinking and problematic sculpture.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: If Beale Street Could Talk
DESCRIPTION:IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK 2018 117 minutes \nBased on the novel by James Baldwin and set in the early 70s Harlem\, this film tells the story of Tish and Fonnie\, two childhood friends who have started a romantic relationship. Fonnie hopes to be an artist\, but life becomes progressively more difficult when Tish becomes pregnant and Fonnie is arrested on trumped-up charges. At turns heartbreaking and infuriating\, this story about love struggling to prevail amidst oppression proves to be a supremely resonant journey. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, and intense moments of profanity\, sexual intercourse\, sexual harassment\, domestic violence as well as chronic structural and institutional racism.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: The Devil Wears Prada
DESCRIPTION:THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2006 109 minutes \nThis look into the New York fashion world has both a sparkle and a distinct edge. The sparkle comes from Anne Hathaway\, who plays a just-out-of-school journalist working for the editor of a prestigious fashion magazine. The edge in this film is Hathaway’s tyrannical editor\, played by Meryl Streep. It has been said that Streep walked away with this film––giving one of the most vibrant performances of her career\, but Stanley Tucci also stands out\, as does Emily Blunt\, who landed a breakout role as Hathaway’s forever exasperated co-worker. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG-13\, with drinking\, profanity\, sexual overtones\, work-related stress\, a bad encounter with a taxi\, divas\, but no smoking (the film is notable for not depicting any tobacco use in an otherwise nicotine-ridden industry).

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: Man On Wire
DESCRIPTION:MAN ON WIRE (2008)  94 minutes \nIf this documentary comes across as a heist film\, it is totally intentional\, because when Phillipe Petit set out to tight-rope walk between the World Trade Center towers in 1974 — it was an illegal undertaking. Petit and his collaborators planned the stunt like a clockwork robbery and the film covers every nail-biting detail. Man on Wire also offers a fascinating window into a time when the towers were not venerated\, as the majority of New Yorkers considered them an ungainly eyesore\, but Petit took the first steps to change that perception by giving the buildings a human dimension. \nBE ADVISED: This film is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and nudity\, depicting what transpired on August 7\, 1974\, and does not address events that took place on September 11\, 2001. \n

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC: The Apartment
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK ON-SCREEN \n  \nTHE APARTMENT  1960  125 minutes \n  \nVienna-born director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard\, Double Indemnity\, Stalag 17\, Some Like It Hot)\, was known for nothing if not his sardonic style and this film is considered one of his sharpest. Set in a mammoth insurance company\, Jack Lemmon plays a humble office schlub who pines for Shirley MacLaine’s elevator operator\, but he is at the mercy of his bosses\, who sing his praises so long as they can use his Manhattan apartment for their affairs. Enter head boss Fred MacMurray\, who finds out about the arrangement––only to use it for his own affair with MacLaine. \nThe Apartment is a ribald comedy with some hard scenes\, and it should be noted that Fred MacMurray was so convincing as a heel that he was repeatedly accosted by angry fans after the film was released—prompting him to play the lovable father in My Three Sons. \n  \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated TV-PG\, and contains smoking\, drinking\, period sexual references\, a punch in the nose\, an attempt at self-harm and Eisenhower-era office dynamics.
