Double Bill featuring the works of Toronto native, Ted Kotcheff. The director is most well known for his works Rambo: First Blood and Weekend at Bernies. Both films were written by Mordecai Richler, who won the WGA award in 1975 for Duddy Kravitz .

At 7, Joshua Then & Now- Nominated for the Golden Palm in the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. Starring James Woods (Once Upon a Time in America, Casino) and Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Glengarry Glen Ross). A provocative drama about a well-known novelist who becomes involved in a smutty scandal as the result of a supermarket tabloid's false accusations.

At 9, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz- Nominated for an Academy Award in the category for best writing. This film is set in 1948 Montreal in a Jewish ghetto. A young Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Close Encounters of a Third Kind) gives an excellent performance as the title character who suffers through years of self-abuse in an effort to become something of substance.

The screening will take place at 7 on Friday the 18th. It will be at Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave., Toronto, On. No tickets or passes are necessary, just show up and enjoy! For more information:

Just seeing this post in May--4 months too late! I would have loved to have been at those screenings--sound like a very cool event. Did you go?

I love "Joshua Then and Now", and I'm getting my own VHS copy from a video store that's going out of business. I have a special affection for this movie, because I was lucky enough to meet and spend a little time with both Woods and Arkin (but years apart). Arkin's lecture on women is riotously funny, and I find James Woods to be magnetically attractive. A really good little-known movie.
