Sunday the 10th 2PM
Because our scheduled film, TOPSY-TURVY has left the streaming service, we'll be watching a different movie.
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Because TOPSY-TURVY is a colorful film about music, I selected another memorable movie, this one featuring a wonderful score by Oscar-winner Michel Legrand, and eye-popping color cinematography. This moving love story is the film that catapulted the lovely Catherine Deneuve to stardom, and features the hit songs "I Will Wait for You" and "Watch What Happens."
You can stream THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG on Kanopy, and it's also available on The Criterion Channel or HBO Max (with a subscription) or you can rent it from Amazon Prime.

All the Best: The Songs of John Prine. Join a discussion of the American singer/songwriter who produced what critic Robert Christgau calls "big houseful of first-rate" tunes and lyrics, including such favorites as "Angel from Montgomery" and "Paradise."
NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING STARS (1982) Paolo and Vittorio Taviani directed this magical blend of comedy, fantasy, and tragedy. In the last days of WWII, townspeople flee the path of destruction the retreating Nazis have created, and steal through the countryside in search of the American liberators.
