Shambhala Cinema is a monthly event where we come to enjoy films that have something to say about the human condition and that have some resonance with Buddhadharma. The movies usually start at 7:00 PM on Saturdays with some popcorn, munchies and light refreshment. Afterwards we can discuss the film or adjourn to the local pubs in Cleveland Park for after movie drinks and discussion.
This Month’s Film
The Age of Innocence (1993) Director: Martin Scorsese
Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008 Time: 7pm Suggested Donation: $5.00
Film Synopsis
Edith Wharton's sprawling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about manners in 1870s New York society transfers to the screen in fine fashion (it was filmed before in 1924 and 1934). Daniel Day-Lewis is a well-bred man-about-town who's engaged to marry his opposite number (Winona Ryder). But when free-thinking beauty Michelle Pfeiffer enters the picture, all bets are off. Martin Scorsese directs this fascinating paean to Victorian mores.
