FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2022 41
The club has screenings on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. We screen films
you won't find at the big cineplexes: documentaries, indie films, foreign films and other little
gems that don't get wide release.
Please note: we will have only one screening in June as our second screening date falls on
the same night as an Amphitheater concert.
Our sole screening for the month, on Sunday, June 12 at 6 pm, is the film Pavarotti (UK 2019,
1 hr. 54 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "This film by Academy
Award winner Ron Howard celebrates the life, works, and achievements of opera legend
Luciano Pavarotti."
All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have you
join us. The Lodge Theater has very limited seating, so if you're interested in our screenings,
come early; we hope to see you there. Please note that all films announced are subject to
availability. If you have any questions about the Counter Culture Cinema Club or want to
recommend a film, please email Micki Rosen at michelesrosen@gmail.com. ~ Micki Rosen
Counter Culture Cinema Club
Classic Film Group
Who doesn't love a good mystery/thriller film? Come to The Lodge Theater on June
28 at 6 pm for the Alfred Hitchcock classic Sabotage. He proves again that he knows
how to combine espionage with humor, mixed with tension.
This thriller centers on the operator of a local cinema who also works with a group
of saboteurs and hides his secret life from his wife and brother-in-law.
A ring of saboteurs is wreaking havoc in London with a series of explosive terrorist
attacks. Karl Verloc (Oscar Homolka) is part of the group, but he maintains a cover
as a kind movie-theater owner. His wife (Sylvia Sidney) is beginning to suspect
something, though, and so is Scotland Yard Detective Sgt. Ted Spencer (John Loder).
What neither of them know, however, is that Verloc uses his wife's little brother
(Desmond Tester) to deliver the bombs in film canisters.
This is a sensational thriller that unravels masterfully and you, the viewer, discover
with the wife, her husband's evil motives. The visuals and tension are second to
none. It's engaging and perfectly directed — a must-see early Hitchcock. ~ Paul
