The Lost City (2022)

A romantic comedy about a cynical romance novelist (Sandra Bullock) and a romance novel cover model (Channing Tatum) who are forced on a zany quest on a remote tropical island filled with both natural dangers and some menacing henchmen. It is a sort of modern update of Romancing the Stone. The movie is very silly fun.

 

If you would like to receive reminders and supplementary materials about upcoming films, please register to be added to an email list for film information. 

Registration is optional, however seating will be first-come, first-served. Call 604-987-4471, ext. 8175 for information.

This award-winning Canadian film is currently only available over streaming, so NVDPL is thrilled to have the opportunity to screen this important and moving film at the library.
 
Two-spirit Mi’kmaw teenager Link is just discovering — and asserting — his sexuality when his already volatile home life goes off the rails. His abusive father explodes after the cops bust Link and his half-brother Travis for stealing scrap metal. When he finds out that his supposedly dead mother may be alive, Link flees with Travis in tow. Sparks fly in a chance encounter with teen drifter Pasmay, who shares Link’s Indigenous roots and offers to help find his mother — but will Link’s (well-founded) mistrust of people ruin his potential new relationship and the group’s mission? Riffing on the road-movie genre, director Bretten Hannam charts Link’s growing self-awareness, which is deeply connected to the (re)discovery of his heritage. The landscape (Annapolis Valley in traditional Mi’kmaq territory) offers succour to Link and Travis — and opens them up to a very different world.  While Link and Travis aren’t free from danger, heartbreak, or disappointment, their lives are increasingly defined by possibility and hope.
