FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | SEPTEMBER 2016 37 Counter Culture Cinema We're happy to bring you a couple of very well-reviewed smaller films again this month that you may not have caught in theaters when they were first released: Our first monthly screening, on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 6 pm, is the film Valley of Love (France 2015, 1 hour 31 minutes, English subtitles). Here is a brief description from Amazon.com: "In this mysterious and beautiful examination of a broken family, acclaimed actors Isabelle Huppert and Gerard Depardieu play thinly disguised versions of themselves as a separated couple who journey to Death Valley after receiving a mysterious letter from their dead son in the expectation that he will appear to them at a certain place and time in the desert." Our second monthly screening, on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 6 pm, is the film, Eye in the Sky (UK 2015, 1 hour 42 minutes, English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "Eye in the Sky stars Helen Mirren as Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from "capture" to "kill." But as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to engage, a nine-year-old girl enters the kill zone triggering an international dispute, reaching the highest levels of US and British government, over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare." 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. 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 Wow! August was a great month.
