On August 15, we’re partnering with Boondocks Film Society to screen the 2001 romantic comedy, “Amélie”. This event is sponsored by National Iron Bank.
“Amélie” is a fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (“Delicatessen”; “The City of Lost Children”) invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue.
Movie rolls at dusk. Check our website, Instagram or Facebook accounts for any changes or updates.
