Dinner and a Movie!

Your donation will stretch further this year at Lorane Movie Night!  We’re serving soup and salad before the festivities.  After all,
LMN is about more than entertainment;  its about rubbing elbows with far flung neighbors, getting in out of the cold and damp,
supporting local organizations, the door prizes, the popcorn and good coffee, the art, the surprises AND the good movies. Gather at
the Lorane Grange at 6 PM every second Saturday of the month, October through March.

All his life, Remy has dreamed of becoming a great French chef. He has

big problem: Remy is a rat! Will he be able to overcome the rodent-phobic
prejudices of the haute cuisine scene and make his dreams come true?
Join us as we launch another RAC Film Season, and join Remy on his
journey of personal discovery and culinary adventure in the kitchens of
the City of Lights. Featuring truly state-of-the-art digital animation and

Waitress (2007, 108 min., PG-13)

Directed By: Adrienne Shelly


Starring: Keri Russell, Andy Griffith, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines

“Waitress” is like an updated “Mildred Pierce” shot through with
sunshine and small-town charm. Jenna, a likable diner waitress,
discovers that she is pregnant just when she’s finally saved up the money
and worked up the nerve to leave her louse of a husband. The simple plot
description might sound like the stuff of a noirish soap opera. But
director Shelly treats this material with a sharp-focused, bright-colored
palette and a humorous, almost fairy-tale touch to the storytelling. A well-
photographed and perfectly-cast little film, “Waitress” is like a meat-and-
potatoes, small town drama served with a side of quirky, character-based
comedy… plus, some really good pies for dessert!

Eat Drink Man Woman (1994, 124 min., UR (like PG), in
Mandarin w/ English Subtitles)

Directed by: Ang Lee


Starring: Sihung Lung, Yu-Wen Wang, Chien-lien Wu

Senior Master Chef Chu faces challenges at work--he is losing sense in
his taste buds--and on the home front. A widower who has raised three
daughters while running one of the best (and busiest) kitchens in Taipei,
Chu is ready to slow down a little as he begins to feel his age. The only
problem is, his three grown daughters are all unmarried and still living at
home. With drama, comedy, and cinematic craft, “Eat Drink Man
Woman” explores cultural changes and generational misunderstandings as
Chu helps each daughter find her place in work, life, and love. A feast for
the eyes of Chinese food lovers: director Ang Lee shot the hard-working
hands of some of the greatest chefs in Taiwan to achieve the hypnotic
montages of Chu’s cooking wizardry.

Like Water For Chocolate (1992, 105 min., R, in Spanish w/
English Subtitles)

Directed By: Alfonso Arau


Starring: Lumi Cavazos, Marco Leonardi, Regina Torne

Based on Laura Esquivel’s acclaimed novel, “Like Water For
Chocolate” simmers the passion for food with the passion of love,
then seasons the story with a dash of Latin American magical
realism. Set during the Mexican Revolution at the turn of the 20th
century, this film is also an exquisite period piece; an enticing glimpse
into the life-ways of another culture in a bygone era. Telling the tale
of a young woman named Tita who is most unlucky in love, but who
thereby develops the ability to work magic through her passionate
cooking, this romantic film was considered a milestone in the
development of Mexican cinema. Essential  for salsa lovers and a
sensually spicy treat for your Valentine’s viewing.

Big Night (1996, 107 min., R)

Directed By: Campbell Scott & Stanley Tucci


Starring: Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci, Minnie Driver, Isabella
Rossellini

In 1950’s New Jersey, immigrant brothers Primo and Secondo are
trying to save their failing restaurant business. Part of the problem is
Chef Primo’s insistence on preparing only fine, authentic Italian
cuisine for customers who’d rather have “red sauce and noodles.” A
friendly rival proposes a possible solution: he will bring his famous
associate, the jazz star Louis Prima, to sing at the restaurant--and to
sample a gourmet feast of Primo’s finest creations. Can one “Big
Night” reverse the brothers’ fading fortunes? We conclude our season
with this funny and effecting drama about culinary art, brotherly love,
and the compromises, big and small, we make in becoming Americans.
