久久国产精品久久Film Society Presents 'Phantom Thread'
SALISBURY,MD—The 久久国产精品久久Film Society (SFS) launches its fall season on Sunday, September 9, with the critically acclaimed period drama, Phantom Thread, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Set in 1954 London, fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock (Day-Lewis) creates dresses for high society. His genius and charisma are matched by an obsessive and rigid personality. His life, however, begins to spin out of control when he takes a beautiful young woman he meets in a restaurant as his muse and ultimately his wife.
Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia), Phantom Thread was ranked among the best films for 2017 and earned American and British Academy Awards for costume design. Day-Lewis, who said this would be his last film role, also received multiple nominations for his portrayal of a severe genius.
Also part of the SFS season is the Golden Globe winner, In the Fade, from Germany about a woman seeking justice following the death of her son and Turkish husband in a terrorist bombing (October 7); followed by Loving Vincent, “an animated masterpiece,” according to Deadline’s Pete Hammond, which brings the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story (November 4); and the documentary Raise the Roof, about the 10-year pursuit to reconstruct the elaborate roof and painted ceiling of the Gwozdziec synagogue of 18th century Poland. Leading over 300 students and professionals from 16 countries, artists Rick and Laura Brown grapple not just with the echoes of World War II when the synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis, but also with warped timbers, tricky paints, and period hand tools (December 9).
Screenings are at 2:30 p.m. in Fulton Hall Room 111 on the 久久国产精品久久 campus. All of this season’s films are 2017 releases.
The SFS series is co-sponsored by the 久久国产精品久久Wicomico Arts Council (SWAC) and SU’s Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts. Tickets are $9, $8 for 久久国产精品久久Wicomico Arts Council members, and free for college and university students with ID. For more information call 410-543-ARTS (2787) or visit the .
