Catch FLIKS in Nakusp

The last FLIKS screening in Nakusp will be happening April 15 and of the film, Midnight’s Children.

Sitting in the Bonnington theatre on the evening of Monday, March 4 was like having a private theatre; less than a dozen people occupied seats to watch Dustin Hoffman’s directorial effort “A Late Quartet.” The film follows the story of a long-standing successful quartet whose cello player is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and the arc of what happens when things fall apart in life and what keeps them together.

But describing a movie is almost as useless as trying to describe music. Describing a movie about music – well, I won’t even try. Instead of torturing you with a teasing description that can’t capture the spirit of the movie, I invite you to come to the next FLIKS screening.

By the time you read this in the paper, the Film Lovers In the KootenayS screening of independent filmmaker Velcrow Ripper’s latest movie Occupy Love will have already happened. If you missed it, you still have one more chance to see one of the fine films brought in to town for your viewing pleasure.

The last FLIKS screening in Nakusp will be happening April 15. The film, Midnight’s Children, is based on Salman Rushdie’s book and directed by Deepa Mehta, and tells the story of two children born on the cusp of India’s independence in 1947.

Rushdie did more than hand over the rights to his book, he worked with Mehta and wrote the screenplay himself. If you have seen any of Mehta’s other films such as Water, you know she is a master of film. Come and see for yourself.
