The Friends - Cinematheque - Maxis

This is somewhat of an obscure movie. There is not a Rotten Tomatoes review. The trailer looks good. The few reviews I found were positive.

5 pm MOVIE

Meet before in the lobby and after near the red chairs. I usually watch the previews so I may not catch you until afterwards.

7ish EATS
It is a 5 minute walk to Little Italy or a 6 minute drive.

DESCRIPTION
A delightful and moving coming-of-age story. One summer, three young boys take an increasing interest in an eccentric old man who lives alone in a house surrounded by an overgrown garden. The boys form a bond with the recluse and set about weeding and replanting the garden.

REVIEW
The film marries these themes of coming-of-age, of nature’s implacable cycles, and of wider historical transitions, exceedingly well through the subtle weaving of a deeper, underlying question that ties them together: what should one generation transmit to the next one?
