Plenty of Shelter

The following is from this week's Manlius Art Cinema newsletter:

Hi all,
And so we move on to Take Shelter, a film that won the grand prize critics award at the Cannes Film Festival. 

The film depicts the anxiety that we all face, finally having things in our lives that we cherish, that something will come along and threaten our happiness. How do we face these fears? Are they manufactured by our own minds or are they harbingers of events to come? And do we face these fears alone or do we confide our fears to our partners. 

Unfortunately, in today's America, for far too many, these fears have become reality. Leave it to art to put these fears into another perspective. The director says in his statement that he hopes that by the end of the film there is an answer. The film has been critically well received and it will be with us until Thanksgiving. 

Our Thanksgiving film will be My Week With Marilyn, starring Michelle Williams (as Marilyn Monroe), Kenneth Brannagh (as Sir Lawrence Olivier) and Judy Dench. We are looking forward to an exciting holiday season and we hope you all will join us.  

Hope to see you soon,
Nat and Eileen
