Friday, May 25th, 2018 | 7:00 to 8:30 PM
Details
This “small” low budget film, directed by Damien Chazelle, focuses on just two characters and the development of their relationship became a big film: it was nominated for five academy awards, winning in two categories, best supporting actor for J.K. Simmons and best sound production. And it has generated a great deal of discussion in the critical world.
