LITTLE WOMEN on 35mm
Book sale by Orca Books before the 6:30PM screening on SAT 2/22.
Nominated for six Oscars, we’re proud to present Little Women on 35mm, its intended format. Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms — is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.

“It doesn’t just brim with life, it brims with ideas about happiness, economic realities, and what it means to push against or to hew to the expectations laid out for one’s gender.” – Alison Willmore, New York Magazine/Vulture
“Without resorting to self-conscious anachronism or fussy antiquarianism, Gerwig has fashioned a story that feels at once entirely true to its 19th-century origins and utterly modern.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times
“This Little Women purist was moved to tears by this movie, and didn’t want it to end.” – Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
