Mid-August Movie: Mid-August Lunch

After seeing West Side Story last night in Astoria Park, I am officially addicted to outdoor movies. After many failed, foggy, frigid attempts to watch movies outside in San Francisco in the summer, I am giving New York summers a big, sweaty embrace. Ice cream truck + fireflies + twinkly East River + homemade popcorn + warmcool breezes + Jerome Robbins' choreography on a big inflatable screen = a perfect evening. Enough said.

So on that theme, I present another free chance at outdoor film enjoyment this Wednesday, August 11, courtesy of Rooftop Films:

Mid-August Lunch
"Set during a sweltering holiday weekend in Rome, this utterly charming comedy is about a middle-aged man living with his mother who suddenly finds himself caring for four elderly women—a delightful movie about aging, family, friendship, food, and wine." (Gianni Di Gregorio. Italy. 75 min.)

Live music starts at 7 pm, film at 8:30. We'll be there with bug spray on.
