Oscar Watch: FJORD at the Drexel Theatre!

Join us as we get together to see the Palme d’Or winner from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, FJORD! This dramatic-legal-thriller-drama is based on a true story of a Romanian-Norwegian couple facing scrutiny after moving to the wife's remote Norwegian hometown. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film is inspired by true events and follows a Romanian-Norwegian conservative couple who faced scrutiny after moving to the wife's progressive remote Norwegian hometown. The film is written/directed by Cristian Mungiu and stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value, The Worst Person in the World). BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival where it received a 12-minute standing ovation and went on to win the Palme d'Or (top prize) along with four other awards! The film is earning a stellar 93% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “riveting,” “superbly well-acted” and “knotty moral dilemma” that "refuses to provide easy answers.” Others call it a quiet film with a lot to say that’s both "richly compelling” and “endlessly though-provoking!” It was selected as the Romanian entry for the Best International Feature Film (and is currently the front-runner) for next year’s Academy Awards. FANTASTIC FEATURETTE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3c27MmOyxg TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gdRZZVoinM PLAN: We’ll plan for a 4:00pm-ish showing and will meet in the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater. Just let them know you're with the group for admission and concession discounts ($3 sm popcorn, $3 sm soda). A longer movie and we've got big dinner/movie events the week before/after, so we'll plan to make this one a movie only event. Exact showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Should be a good one, Dan

October Book Club Meetup

Welcome, readers! 🎃 Our October read is ***Klara and the Sun*** by **Kazuo Ishiguro**. From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. In *Klara and the Sun*, Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love? The film adaptation of this novel is scheduled for release on October 23 (the official trailer can be found here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixzainceAE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixzainceAE)). We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Looking forward to discussing with everyone!

Butcher’s Crossing - John Williams

Join us for Butcher’s Crossing by John Edward Williams! In his National Book Award-winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America. It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek "an original relation to nature," drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.
