Biography | Drama 125 min. PG-13. 2017

Director: Terence Davies
Cast: Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Ehle, Duncan Duff, Keith Carradine

The story of American poet Emily Dickinson from her early days as a young schoolgirl to her later years as a reclusive, unrecognized artist.

“Terence Davies’s (THE LONG DAY CLOSES) new movie about Emily Dickinson’s life,… A QUIET PASSION refuses the obvious at every turn. The romantically disappointed recluse of “The Belle of Amherst,” William Luce’s sturdy, sentimental play, has been replaced by a prickly, funny, freethinking intellectual, whose life is less a chronicle of withdrawal from the world than a series of explosive engagements with the universe. The passion is not so quiet, really. Dickinson (Cynthia Nixon) muses and ponders, yes, but she also seethes, scolds, teases and bursts out laughing…..This is a visually gorgeous film — full of sunlight and flowers, symmetry and ornament — that also feels refreshingly plain. The smooth, almost lyrical movement of the camera conveys lightness and gravity, much in the way that some of Dickinson’s poems do…. And though A QUIET PASSION is small — modest in scope, inward rather than expansive, precise in word and gesture — it contains multitudes. It opens a window into an era whose political and moral legacies are still with us, and illuminates, with a practiced portraitist’s sureness of touch, the mind of someone who lived completely in her time, knowing all the while that she would eventually escape it”—A.O. Scott, New York Times.

It is grounded, and made most exemplary, by Cynthia Nixon’s performance. Every actor in this movie is wonderful. But Nixon’s precision in portraying every particular mood of Emily — for each individual scene calls for absolute specificity — is simply spectacular.—Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com

Director: Eleanor Coppola. Cast: Diane Lane, Alec Baldwin, Arnaud Viard

Alec Baldwin, Diane Lane and Arnaud Viard in PARIS CAN WAIT

The wife of a successful movie producer takes a car trip from the south of France to Paris with one of her husband’s associates.

Anne (Diane Lane) is at a crossroads in her life. Long married to a successfully driven but inattentive movie producer (Alec Baldwin), she finds herself taking a car trip from Cannes to Paris with a business associate of her husband (Arnaud Viard). What should be a seven-hour drive turns into a journey of discovery involving fine food and wine, humor, wisdom, and picturesque sights.

“Quite possibly, at 80, the oldest American director to ever make a debut dramatic feature, Eleanor Coppola (yes, Francis Coppola’s wife) serves up a sweet little divertissement with PARIS CAN WAIT, a charming travelogue/food-a-thon about two middle-aged acquaintances on a two-day road trip from Cannes to Paris….Big-time producer Michael Lockwood (Alec Baldwin) and his wife Anne (Diane Lane) prepare to hop on a private jet for Paris. Declining to fly due to an ear infection, Anne says she’ll happily take the train, but is instead convinced to hop a ride with Michael’s “business associate” Jacques (Viard), whom she knows a bit… it’s an escape from real life, from anything consequential, a chance to delight in the pleasures that humans can take from what grows in the earth and from an amiable companion’s company”—Todd McCarthy, Variety. And, of course, that’s what it is for the audience too!

Saturday, July 1 at 1:00

This event is free and open to the public. Sam & Eddie’s Open Books will be selling The Going and Goodbye and Banish Your Inner Critic during this event. A book-signing will follow the program.

From Honorable Mentions to Authors: Shuly Cawood & Denise Jacobs, a Conversation about Life Choices

Both Cawood and Jacobs grew up in Yellow Springs. In this event, they will talk about how their childhood influenced their lives and careers, and the journey each of them took to become authors. Both Cawood and Jacobs have a book debuting in June, 2017. Cawood and Jacobs both received honorable mention for the Mary Jane Bachtell Memorial Creative Writing Award when they graduated from Yellow Springs High School. Despite not winning the award, they each continued to write throughout their adulthood.

Shuly Cawood

Cawood’s memoir, The Going and Goodbye, is an examination of loss and leaving and the search for meaning in the memories that remain. Tracing a path through rural Ohio, the American south and small towns of Mexico, her stories breathe life into a marriage and its dissolution; find a voice that fears mortality then faces it; explore faith in the face of these losses; and ultimately reveal the power of love and letting go.

Denise Jacobs

Jacobs’ latest book, Banish Your Inner Critic, is a self-help handbook for unblocking creativity. The impetus for the book came eight years ago, when Jacobs battled self-doubt almost every day while working on her first book, The CSS Detective Guide. From that point on, her work has been focused on the creative process—specifically how to remove the biggest block to creativity: the Inner Critic. Jacobs’ book combines neuroscience, psychology, mindfulness principles, and self-compassion research, all interwoven with personal storytelling and “you can do it!” cheerleading to present approachable and immediately applicable practices for putting the Inner Critic in its place.

This event is free and open to the public. Sam & Eddie’s Open Books will be selling The Going and Goodbye and Banish Your Inner Critic during this event. A book-signing will follow the program.
