October 7 Outing

Yay!!! I'm finally able to resume our Movie Club blog after frustrating weeks during which I couldn't log on. Here's the plan for October.

Looks like the best choice for us on Tuesday, October 7, is a comedy that debuted at TIFF, won much applause, stars the incomparable Maggie Smith, and takes place in Paris. What's not to like?







 

My Old Lady

Synopsis: My Old Lady tells the story of Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline), a down-and-out New Yorker who travels to Paris to liquidate a huge and valuable apartment he has inherited from his estranged father. When he reaches his apartment in Paris he finds Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith), a refined old lady living in the apartment with her daughter, Chloe (Kristin Scott Thomas). He then discovers the romantic history between Mathilde and his father, a romance that lasted over half a century.

It's too early to tell you which cinema we'll be going to or at what time. But if this movie sounds good to you, save the date and I'll give you where and when details ASAP.
