IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE tonight & tomorrow @ 7:30. PG 98min

A poetic love story that is on several lists of the greatest foreign films of all time — the film that made Wong Kar Wai one of the coolest directors in the world. Not a film that focuses on plot or action, but on acting, cinematography, design and direction, making it “dizzy with a romantic spirit that’s been missing from the cinema forever.” (NY Times)

Tickets available at the door - $6 adults, $4 children under 12. Cash only.

Popcorn still only $1 🍿 🎬

Special Saturday Matinee Event!
April 25 at 2 pm Free for All: the Public Library
How did our wonderful free, public libraries come to exist? The Shelburne Falls Women’s Club and Pothole Pictures are partnering with the Arms Library to show this film, which tells the story.
As many as 75 to 80 percent of public libraries were started by local women’s clubs, as part of the “Free Library Movement.”
Join us to celebrate Library Week, and to honor the “quiet revolutionaries” who made modern libraries possible.
Stay for lively conversation with local librarians after the film.
and enjoy live music from a sextet before the film
Adults — $6. School age children — Free !

Sarah Hertel-Fernandez, Director, Belding Memorial Library, Ashfield, MA
