Chicago Film Lover Meetup

Exact show time when available. In the Spanish horror thrillerYou Are Not Me, Aitana returns home for the first time in three years, excited to introduce her wife and their adopted infant son to her extended family and celebrate Christmas together. The family villa in the Spanish countryside is exactly as she remembers – except for the addition of Nadia, a Romanian refugee who has claimed Aitana’s bedroom, her clothes, and her family heirlooms. Why have Aitana’s conservative parents, long suspicious of immigrants, embraced the mysterious Nadia with such uncharacteristic warmth? Is Nadia a shrewd usurper, or an unwitting vessel for darker forces spreading across the land? A twisty thriller that locates the uncanny in the reflexive cordiality of the holiday season, YOU ARE NOT ME is a dark and disturbing dispatch from the most irrational realm: family.

EXACT SHOWTIME TBA. Nickel Boys Is a cinematic experience unlike any other. In finding a new way to adapt Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel Nickel Boys, director RaMell Ross changes the way we perceive the world itself. It tells a boldly conceived story of two Black kids named Elwood and Turner, living during the height of segregation in Florida. Elwood (Ethan Herisse) is a smart, idealistic kid who is wrongly shuttled off to the abusive confines of a reformatory school named Nickel Academy. Turner (Brandon Wilson) is the bright friend he makes in the dark passages of those days. "Nickel Boys" pulls viewers into the perspective of these Black teenagers with impressive style and unflinching confidence.

MORE INFO ASAP.
After the show we’ll go to Duke of Perth for dinner, drinks, and discussion.
