Virtual Cinema - Some Kind of Heaven – Friday, February 26 | ||||||
The St. Francis Centre, as part of its TIFF Ajax Film Circuit, and in partnership with mk2|MILE END, is pleased to present a virtual cinema screening of “Some Kind of Heaven” – the 2020 documentary about The Villages; the world’s largest retirement community. At The Villages, often called “Disney World for Retirees”, we meet four residents living on the margins, striving to find happiness. From synchronized swimming to pickleball, the good life is waiting, as well as a discounted funeral package now at a new, lower price. While most residents have bought into the community’s packaged positivity, married couple Ann and Reggie wrestle with Reggie’s deteriorating grip on reality and psychedelic drug use; Barbara, a widow, seeks second love; and Dennis, an 82 year old bachelor living out of a van, searches for a wealthy woman to take care of him for his remaining years. Though the film “illustrates the gap between The Villages’ advertising copy and the practical reality of living there”, Some Kind of Heaven invests more in the “dreams and desires of its residents”. So pop some popcorn, grab your favourite snack, and a beverage, and settle in for a night of thought-provoking film. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased from mk2|MILE END. A “solid feature debut from a bright young filmmaker who, despite his age, is able to expand our understanding of the complicated lives of older Americans” ~ The Hollywood Reporter |
