The Films:
11/7 - Annie Hall (1977): Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Woody Allen, the king of neurosis, brings us this quintessential romantic comedy about a man obsessively questioning love, life, and everything in between. Annie Hall is a perfect study of the overthinking that can plague relationships and identities, earning its place as a classic portrait of modern anxieties. Starring: Carol Kane, Diane Keaton, Paul Simon, Tony Roberts, Woody Allen
11/14 - Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970): Frank Perry’s darkly comedic drama dives deep into the chaotic inner life of a woman pushed to the brink by her demanding husband and the crushing pressures of domestic life. Based on the Sue Kaufman novel, this satirical portrait of a housewife’s unraveling mind will resonate with anyone who has felt suffocated by societal expectations. Starring: Carrie Snodgress, Frank Langella, Frannie Michel, Lorraine Cullen, Richard Benjamin
11/21 - Desperate Living (1977): John Waters serves up an outlandish and surreal vision of madness in this cult classic. Filled with grotesque humor and unapologetic weirdness, Desperate Living is a neurotic fever dream that twists social norms into a wildly comedic, utterly chaotic reflection of our collective fears and desires. Starring: Edith Massey, Jean Hill, Liz Renay, Mink Stole, Susan Lowe
