Room 8: Revolutionary Road — One Love, Two Lives
Sat, Oct 10, 2:00 PMYou can love each other — and still be unhappy together. You can imagine one life together, only to realize one day that somehow you are living another. And when one person decides to change something, it changes more than just their own life — the relationship itself can no longer remain exactly as it was. On October 10 at Room 8, we’ll watch Revolutionary Road (2008) and talk about love, intimacy, disappointment, and what happens between two people when their ideas of a shared life begin to pull in different directions. Before the film, we’ll begin with a short psychoanalytic introduction — a few ideas and questions that may offer a different way of seeing the story. After the screening, we’ll stay for a conversation — about the film, its characters, and what the story stirred in each of us. Not to decide who was right or what the director “really meant.” We’re more interested in our own reactions: Who did you sympathize with? Who frustrated you? Whom did you want to blame or defend? And why can the very same relationship look so different depending on who is watching? We’ll watch and discuss the film in a small group of up to 12 people — intimate enough for this to remain a conversation, rather than a discussion from the audience, and for everyone to have a place in the dialogue. No background in psychology or film is required. Just an interest in good films, in people, and perhaps a little curiosity about yourself. The meeting will be facilitated by Aleksandr Stepanov and Renata Urakcheeva, both trained in psychoanalysis and group work. Your spot is reserved once payment is received. The film ends. The experience begins.
Drinking Inquisitively
Fri, Oct 2, 11:00 PMThis event will begin at 7:00, in the meeting house of the NY Society for Ethical Culture (W. 64th St. at Central Park West; see the map on this page). Then at 9 PM, whoever is eager to have the good times continue to roll will move to another venue (TBA) in the vicinity. Once you are in the NYSEC building, take the stairs or elevator to the 4th floor. We will be located in the room called Ceremonial Hall. Regarding refreshments, bring things you like to drink and/or eat, for yourself and other participants. And be mindful that if there are leftovers, we will be asked to take them with us when we leave.
