Program Description

Event Details

Join us for our monthly Friday matinee film screenings!  

Showing today: Isabel Coixet's 2017 film The Bookshop (running time 1 hour and 52 minutes).

England, 1959. Free-spirited widow Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative East Anglian coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awakening through works by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame (Patricia Clarkson) and the support and affection of a reclusive book loving widower (Bill Nighy).

As Florence’s obstacles amass and bear suspicious signs of a local power struggle, she is forced to ask: is there a place for a bookshop in a town that may not want one?

Winner of Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Goya Awards.
