Cinema Night at the Library
Thursday, January 21st, 2010 film:
"Up"
Carl Fredericksen is a 78- year-old curmudgeon. He used to enjoy his modest
life as a balloon seller when his adventure-loving wife Ellie was still
alive. When she died, Carl was left with his memories and the awareness
that they never made their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America.
When well-meaning officials consign Carl to Shady Oaks Retirement Home,
he rigs thousands of helium balloons to his house and floats away. He
discovers that Russell, a chubby Wilderness Explorer Scout has stowed
away. In the tropical jungle, Carl and Russell find more than they bargained
for. Charles Muntz is a crazed explorer whose newsreels once inspired
Carl and Ellie; Kevin is an exotic bird with a weakness for chocolate;
and Dug, who is an endearing golden retriever fitted with a voice box.
More importantly, Carl and Russell discover they need each other.
Join us for our Cinema Night & Discussion series at the main library.
We show foreign, cult, and independent films that one might see in art-house
cinemas like the Kendall, the Brattle, or the Coolidge Corner. The Library
owns a DVD of each title we show, and you may place holds on them, in
case you miss the Library's showing.
Cinema Night takes place on the third Thursday of each month;
film at 6:30 p.m. with discussion to follow. Refreshments
provided.
