Cinematique Presents: "Paris Can Wait"

Monday, July 17 - Wednesday, July 19

Thalian Hall Main Stage

Monday - Wednesday at 7 pm

Wednesday at 4 pm

When her director husband (Alec Baldwin) is occupied with work in Paris, an American woman (Diane Lane) takes a jaunt with his business associate, a charming Gallic rogue who is happy to squire her on a tour of some of the finest meals in Provence. The unexpected journey reawakens her sense of self and joie de vivre. The first feature directed by Eleanor Coppola, wife of Francis and director of the "Apocalypse Now" documentary "Hearts of Darkness".

From the critics: 

The lesson to stop and smell the roses. (Or in this case, drink the vino). That lesson, like the charm of a restrained romance that unfolds over a few days on the road in Europe, is one that never gets old. Jude Dry indieWire Coppola deftly shifts the focus to the woman behind the great man and asks who she is, how she understands the world, what she cares about. It's fully her story and a rare perspective Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times
