Oscar nominee ‘Brooklyn’ in Callicoon

Posted

CALLICOON, NY — CineArt, a partnership between Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and the Callicoon Theater, will present John Crowley’s critically-acclaimed film “Brooklyn” (PG-13) from Friday, February 12 through Tuesday, February 16. It will play nightly at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The movie, starring Saoirse Ronan, based on the novel by Colm Tóibín and screenplay by Nick Hornby, has been nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Writing. It tells the story of Eilis Lacey (Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

“Brooklyn is easily the year’s best and most beguiling love story,” wrote Peter Travers in Rolling Stone.

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. A percentage of the profits and $1 per person from ticket sales benefit the programs and services of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
