3/3/2025

0 Comments

 
When: March 14 at 1:30pm
Where : Hybrid, with in person at North Shore Senior Center, 161 Northfield Rd., Northfield.

 
Thank you to Michael Berman for choosing, providing considerable background information, and leading our discussion on Valentine's Day of, The Maltese Falcon, a classic film noir which many of us can watch over and over again.
 
Out film for March 14 is Falling Down, a 1993 film directed by Joel Schumacher.
 
Falling Down is a story about a middle-aged man, Michael Douglas, who is dealing with unemployment and divorce. He sets out one day to attend his daughter's birthday party. Enroute his car breaks down on a LA highway. He abandons the car and starts walking to the party. His frustration and bitterness increase and he has a number of violent encounters, including one with a veteran cop (Robert Duvall). The film raises issues of social justice, consumerism, and the decline of American culture.
 
Remember to watch the film on your own before we meet for our discussion.
The film is available at local libraries and can be rented on You Tube, Google Play, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Fandango, and a new service called Row 8.
