Posted

CALLICOON, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) and the Callicoon Theater present Bill Condon’s “Mr. Holmes” (PG) starring Ian McKellen and Laura Linney.

“Mr. Holmes” is a new twist on the world’s most famous detective. In 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper (Laura Linney) and her young son (Milo Parker), whom he comes to rely upon as he revisits the circumstances of an unsolved case. The film is directed by Bill Condon, who helped launch McKellen’s modern film career with “Gods and Monsters” in 1998.

“Mr. Holmes” will screen Friday, August 21 through Thursday, August 27, nightly at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Callicoon Theater is located at 30 Upper Main St. Admission costs $10.50 ($8.50 admission on Mondays and matinees) and $7 for children under 12 at all shows.

CineArt is a partnership between the DVAA and the Callicoon Theater, which promotes and screens independent, foreign and art films. A percentage of the profits and $1 per person from ticket sales benefit the DVAA, the Arts Council for Sullivan County. Visit www.DelawareValleyArtsAlliance.org.
