Film night: Eleanor the Great (Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut)

It’s the perfect fall weather for another film night. The film starts at 6:20 so I will aim to be in the lobby by six wearing a blue shirt and blue scarf after the film. Those who want to can join me in the theatres charming little lounge for tea or a drink.

In Eleanor The Great, June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.
