Streaming Night: The Shape of Water
Details
From the New York Times:
"The Shape of Water is partly a code-scrambled fairy tale, partly a genetically modified monster movie, and altogether wonderful. Guillermo del Toro, the writer and director, is a passionate genre geek. Sometimes his enthusiasm can get the better of his discipline, producing misshapen (but never completely uninteresting) movies like Pacific Rim and Crimson Peak. At his best, though — in The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth and now, at last, again — he fuses a fan’s ardor with a romantic sensibility that is startling in its sincerity. He draws on old movies, comic books, mythic archetypes and his own restless visual imagination to create movies that seem less made than discovered, as if he had plucked them from the cultural ether and given them color, voice and form."
This is a potluck, so bring something to share. If you know in advance what you plan to bring, you might share it in the comments so people can plan around it. But don't worry - it always works out. We'll gather around 7, fill our plates, and then start the movie around 7:30. I'll email directions to attendees the Wednesday before - if you don't get the email by Thursday afternoon, message me through the Meetup messaging and I'll send it to you directly.
As always with these in-home events, space is limited so please treat your RSVP as a commitment. I look forward to seeing you!
