Robert Redford Film Next FOLA Movie in Ludlow, Sept. 5

Past event
Sep 5, 2015

FOLA will feature the film, "All is Lost", Saturday, September 5, at 7 PM, at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium.

"All is Lost" stars Robert Redford in what many critics believe to be his greatest acting performance in his career. What is unique about this film is the fact that Redford is the only actor in it. It is a tale not simply of man against the sea but man against himself.

All Is Lost is a 2013 survival drama film written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The film stars Robert Redford as a man lost at sea. Redford is the only cast member, and the film has very few spoken words.

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean ("1700 nautical miles from the Sumatra Straits"), a man (Robert Redford) says, "I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried. I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right, but I wasn't." He declares, "All is lost."

Eight days earlier, as he wakes up, he sees that water has started to flood his boat, the Virginia Jean, a Cal 39 yacht.

What follows is his tale of seeking rescue. But, more importantly, it is the saga of a man's willingness to survive.

As with all FOLA movies, admission is free and open to everyone; donations are appreciated. Popcorn will be provided by Berkshire Bank and FOLA will offer water. For information, call 802-228-7239 or visit the web site at www.fola.us.
