Monday Night Truman Capote and Nelle Harper Lee Film Series

Event Description:
Join St. Helena Public Library every Monday evening at 7 pm for a free film. In November, the library will celebrate the works of a couple of our favorite authors, Truman Capote and Nelle Harper Lee, along with a special film for Thanksgiving. November 23rd: This week we take a break from our Capote/Harper Lee retrospective to celebrate Thanksgiving with this special film. Reformed wild child April Burns (Katie Holmes) attempts to make Thanksgiving dinner -- while battling a temperamental oven -- for her estranged suburban family at her grungy New York apartment and anticipates introducing them to her new boyfriend, Bobby (Derek Luke). The plot of Pieces of April, a sweet independent film, couldn't be simpler: as April struggles to cook, her estranged family slowly drives toward the city, stopping now and then to question why they're going to a meal they expect to be not only bad to eat, but awkward and unhappy. April must rely on the kindness of strangers to pull off the perfect meal and the perfect memory. Oliver Platt, Sean Hayes and Oscar-nominated Patricia Clarkson co-star in this drama that observes a dysfunctional family coming together to address the past and heal the future. Licensing agreements prohibit us from using the titles of films in promotions. Info, 963-5244.
