CHICAGO PREMIERE!
CHICAGO PREMIERE!
ONE WEEK ONLY!
A HOLE IN ONE
AUGUST 5-11
The Facets Cinémathèque, 1517 W. Fullerton Ave. is proud to present the Chicago Premiere of A Hole in One, directed by Richard Ledes, for one week only, Aug. 5-11. Showtimes are Fri. at 7 & 9 p.m., Sat. at 5, 7 & 9 p.m., Sun. at 3, 5, 7 & 9 p.m., and Mon., Tues, and Thurs. at 7 & 9 p.m.
Set in small-town America circa 1953, A Hole in One is a romantic drama starring Michelle Williams(Imaginary Heroes) as Anna, a young woman whose desire for mental health leads her to covet the latest fashion-a trans-orbital lobotomy. Anna is haunted by her family's insensitive treatment of her brother when he returns "shell-shocked" from World War II, followed by his unexpected suicide.
Raised in a pre-feminist era, when women were not expected to think for themselves, Anna is courted by Billy (Meat Loaf Aday, Fight Club), a small time gangster, when she is just barely old enough to be considered an adult woman. Desperately, Anna looks for a way to relieve her pain, while yearning for fulfillment, clarity and calm as madness flickers around the edges of her life.
Shot in Nova Scotia, featuring exquisite photography, rich period detail, an evocative score by Stephen Trask (of Hedwig & The Angry Inch fame) and based on meticulously researched "stranger than fiction" historical facts and medical practices, A Hole in One is a film that meticulously balances a rich original style with a captivating story and visuals that complement its intelligent humor and dialogue, as a young woman struggles against the madness of Cold War America.
Directed by Richard Ledes, U.S.A, 2004, 35mm, 97 mins.
Tickets are $9, $5 for members.
