SV Film Group hosts, Rev. Paul Mowry and our own 'Chef' Joey both graduated from NYU Film School and love finding interesting films to watch and discuss as a group. The group meets downstairs in the Church Hall. Parking is difficult so be sure to plan to walk or request a ride from Sausalito Village.
This month's film: "The Straight Story"
Hailed by many as David Lynch's best and most profound film, The Straight Story (1999) — won the Cannes Film Festival: Palme d'Or for Best Director, as well as a slew of other presigous awards.
The story revolves around an elderly man (Richard Farnsworth—Oscar nomination) who drives a lawn tractor hundreds of miles to reconcile with his estranged brother. Directed by David Lynch, but unlike almost anything else Lynch made: quiet, funny, beautiful and deeply compassionate. It provides wonderful discussion material about family, regret, forgiveness and aging.
LOTS OF SNACKS will be provided
PARKING IS NON-EXISTANT at the church, please plan to walk, park on the street or call SV for a ride at least 48 hours ahead at 415-332-3325. Thanks!
