FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2015 37
Counter Culture Cinema
Due to the holidays, our only screening will be on Sunday, Dec.13 at 6 pm. The film
is The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (Sweden 2013,
114 minutes, Swedish with English subtitles).
Here is a brief description from IMDB.com: "Powered by the antics of a mischievous
centenarian on the run, comic fable The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window
and Disappeared abounds with irreverent charm. After a long and colorful life working
in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project,
and other definitive events of the 20th century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a
nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window
and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other
surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named
Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan's youthful escapades and
current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who's young at heart.
Starring beloved comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is
based on a best-selling novel and is also the highest-grossing Swedish film of all time."
All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have
you join us. The Lodge Theatre 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.
