A richly idiosyncratic portrait of Emily Dickinson
This delicate and thoughtful film – small in scale but brimming with the quiet passion of the title – imagines the life of the nineteenth-century American poet Emily Dickinson, played with brittle, red-eyed intensity by ‘Sex and the City’ star Cynthia Nixon. This is a film with endless wit, wordplay and wry observation hidden under its bonnet. Like Dickinson, it finds humor in pompousness, and it finds subtle ways – often through playing with light and time – of making us feel, strongly, how Dickinson ached with the joy and pain of her world.
Complimentary refreshments and a group discussion will follow the film.
Admission is $6 After Hours Film Society Members / $10 for Non-Members. Tickets can be purchased at the Tivoli Theatre box office prior to or on the night of the program.
