Dangerous Liaisons Discussion Over Dinner

Notice This event is a get together to discuss the film not watch it. How to watch the film is detailed below. Points you may wish to consider for the discussion can be found here. Film Whilst not wanting to make a habit of it, the Movie and Dinner Group's meetup to watch Dangerous Liaisons (1988) at Revival House on Sunday, 20 September has me wishing to again park our 2 watch lists in order to hold a discussion on it. Starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich in arguably their finest performances, Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman prior to becoming famous and the forever gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer, it's an aristocratic tale of seduction, deceit and revenge which I believe will make for very rich discussions. It was nominated for 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress for Close and Best Supporting Actress for Pfeiffer with it ultimately winning 3. 🏆🏆🏆 A synopsis and trailer can be found here. How to Watch The movie is screening on 35mm film at 4:00pm on Sunday, 20th September at Revival House in Como. For those interested, Justen from the Movie and Dinner Group is hosting a meetup to watch the movie followed by a dinner across the road (where no discussion on the film is allowed 🤭) . Further details of this event can be found here. For those unable to make that event, the movie can be streamed for free here. If it won't stream, try downloading it first. If that doesn't work, send me a message and I’ll do my best to help. For those who've already seen the movie, I suggest watching again as memories are unreliable and opinions change. Rewatching the film is not however necessary to attend the meeting or comment on it below if your thoughts are clear. Meeting As always, I’ll be getting to the venue just before 6:00pm to sort out my food and drink and welcome everyone who wishes to do the same. For those who do, it's a great way to get to know other members and share what other movies are being watched. At 6:45pm sharp, I'll look to give a brief introduction and provide a summary of our scores from the previous week's film. We'll all then share our scores out of 10 for this film and break into small groups to discuss it. Rules of conduct for these discussions are set out here. Around 8:30pm we'll rejoin to share our take aways and try to answer any remaining questions with the aim of being finished by 9:15pm. Scores A summary of the group’s scores will be posted in the Discussion section of the group's home page on the Monday after the event. Given the first thing in the summary will be a comparison of our score to that on IMDB, please try to avoid seeing that score ahead of landing on yours so as not to be biased. For those able to watch the movie but not make the meeting, I encourage you to do so and post your score in the Comment section below before the Monday after the event. It’s a great way to still share your thoughts on the movie and gain from those of others. All scores in whatever way presented count towards the awards that'll be presented at the end of year event. 🏆🥳 Final Words As always, I look forward to catching up with everyone I've met so far and welcoming anyone joining us for the first time. 👋
