Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
Wednesday, August 21 at 6 p.m. “The Purple Rose of Cairo” (1985, PG, 82 min) - Woody Allen’s intoxicating comic reflection on the magical allure of the silver screen. The movie’s dashing leading actor (Jeff Daniels) steps down from the screen and into the arms of a depression-era housewife (Mia Farrow) whose world is transformed by romance and adventure. Co-stars Diane Wiest and Van Johnson.
