Aging Well Film Night
The Aging Well Film Night will feature the movie Hard Truths. Admission to the film night is free; no registration is required. Seating is limited.
Hard Truths features Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments - brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike. This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family. Hard Truths is directed by filmmaker Mike Leigh.
