Synopsis

I AM LOVE tells the story of the wealthy Recchi family, whose lives are undergoing sweeping changes. Eduardo Sr., the family patriarch, has decided to name a successor to the reigns of his massive industrial company, surprising everyone by splitting power between his son Tancredi, and grandson Edo. But Edo dreams of opening a restaurant with his friend Antonio, a handsome and talented chef. At the heart of the family is Tancredi's wife Emma (Tilda Swinton), a Russian immigrant who has adopted the culture of Milan. An adoring and attentive mother, her existence is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with Edo's friend and partner Antonio, and embarks on a passionate love affair that will change her family forever.

Cinema Sundays is very pleased to present the Baltimore premiere of I am Love. Our penultimate screening combines a family drama with Italian Chic! Reviews are great and I am looking forward to another great Tilda Swinton performance

Our speaker for this week is film maker and professor Chris Reed from Stevenson University. Chris always does such nice work for us and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back.

Thanks to Murray Hurwitz for his pithy perceptive remarks. The 35 Rums felt like a mere 25!

BiG NeWs Cinema Sundays Fans! We were planning a screening on July 11 to compensate for the BGE planned outage earlier in the year. However, Cinema Sundays has been offered a screening of The Girl Who Played With Fire…The second part of the Millennium series…(The first part was The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.) The only date offered for the screening was July 4th and we have decided that due to the popularity of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and the expected popularity of The Girl Who Played With Fire we would accept the change of date. So please begin your celebrations at the Charles on 7/4…You can begin your day With The Girl That Played With Fire and end with fireworks!



Sunday should be a most interesting film and I look forward to seeing you there!

If you�ve never been to Cinema Sundays before, see below for our stimulating, updated, yet official description.


Precisely at 9:45 on a given Sunday morning, while birds chirp in the most musical manner, the doors at the Charles Theatre swing open to reveal a lobby replete with tasty bagels, hot coffee and friendly volunteers ready to serve them to you. All of our volunteers have been pre-tested for a complete lack of morning grouchiness and provide the nicest service�within reason!

Guarded carefully by the enormous lobby penguin bagels, coffee and scintillating yet improvised conversation continues until 10:30. At precisely 10:30:07 some brief opening remarks by yours truly will be followed by a few remarks from our guest speaker who will never do either of two things. First he or she will never ever give away the plot of the film and second the speaker will not go on too long�especially if the film is one of those 2.5 h our Soviet era documentaries on the Romance of the Seven Tractor Drivers.

Following a brief admonition not to talk during the film and a recommendation to sublet your cell phone to a starving student from the third world the screening will take place. Upon completion of the screening a robust question and answer session featuring our guest speaker will include your fascinating observations upon the recently screened movie.

This flowery description barely describes the sublime joy and excitement which is Cinema Sundays. If there is a better way to spend Sunday mornings it simply hasn�t occurred to me�.yet!
