Screenings

So I was invited to yet another screening and caught 2 films
1. Feast Of Love by Robert Benton with Greg kinnear and Morgan Freeman. Not so good. A meditation on love and its various incarnations, set within a community of friends in Oregon. and is described as an exploration of the magical, mysterious and sometimes painful incarnations of love.

2. Eastern Promises by David Cronenberg. Highly recommend it especially if you're a fan of his films (The Fly, 1996's Crash, Naked Lunch, History of Violence). The film follows the mysterious and ruthless Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen), who is tied to one of London's most notorious organized crime families. His carefully maintained existence is jarred when he crosses paths with Anna (Naomi Watts), an innocent midwife trying to right a wrong, who accidentally uncovers potential evidence against the family. Now Nikolai must put into motion a harrowing chain of murder, deceit, and retribution
