Film showing by the Saratoga Film Forum:
"A Walk on the Moon," directed by Tony Goldwyn and set in 1969, the proverbial Summer of Love—the Woodstock Nation meets the Borscht Belt in a bittersweet love story about an affair between a Jewish housewife and a local hunk at a down-at-the-heels Catskills bungalow colony. A charmingly offbeat, independent film. With Diane Lane, Liev Schreiber, and Anna Paquin. Rated R, 106 minutes. |
