“Beautiful, unexpected, and tender.”—Guillermo del Toro
In this one night only special screening in honor of its Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature, you’ll see how this film has warmed the hearts of audiences around the world—from Cannes where the film premiered to its first screening in North America at the Toronto Film Festival.
Spanish director Pablo Berger (Blancanieves, Torremolinos 73) has lovingly adapted Sara Varon’s charming and quirky graphic novel set in 1980s New York. The film plays like an engaging silent film as characters from different world negotiate a relationship that requires patience, endurance, and sacrifice.
