The days are getting shorter and cooler. The leaves are turning colour. The kids are back to school. This could make us sad, or we could get busy booking interesting and fun things to do!
Come join us upstairs at the Almonte Legion on the third Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. You’ll be in a room full of delightful fellow movie lovers and help us raise money for our local libraries. Tickets are only $15, or $42 for the series subscription.
Sound like fun? We think so.
Our first movie is The Marching Band
This highly acclaimed movie tells the story of a world-famous orchestra conductor who discovers the brother he never knew he had — a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a marching band. The men were adopted by two different families at birth and grew up in diverse environments. Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) who lives in a posh Parisian suburb, discovers he has a serious health issue, which is what leads him to find Jimmy (Pierre Lottin) who lives in a working-class town. They discover, amongst other things, that music is an important aspect of both of their lives. According to the Irish Film Institute, “The Marching Band is a warm, funny, and socially conscious crowd-pleaser.”
