Sedona Film Festival Presents Sixty Six Indie Hit Comedy
|
|
Based on the real life experience of director Paul Weiland, “Sixty Six” is a coming-of-age comedy starring Eddie Marsan (Mission Impossible III, Vera Drake), Helena Bonham Carter (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Big Fish), Stephen Rea (V for Vendetta, The Crying Game), Catherine Tate, Peter Serafinowicz, Geraldine Somerville, Richard Katz, Ben Newton and Gregg Sulkin. The Sedona International Film Festival and the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley are teaming up to present the Arizona premiere of the indie hit comedy. The film will be featured on Tuesday, June 30 at the Jewish Community Synagogue in Sedona. There will be two screenings of the film at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. England, during the summer of ’66, the country is consumed by World Cup fever. For 12-year-old Bernie, the biggest day of his life is looming, the day he becomes a man — his Bar Mitzvah. However Bernie’s North London family seems a little distracted. His father Manny is concerned about the giant supermarket opening opposite his grocery shop, a business he shares with his more charismatic younger brother, Jimmy — and it’s making Manny’s bizarre obsessive compulsive disorder even worse than usual. Between worrying about Manny and Bernie’s older brother Alvie, mother Esther barely has time to notice her better behaved younger son. The only attention Bernie ever gets from Alvie is a punch for stepping onto the wrong side of their shared bedroom. Bernie believes his Bar Mitzvah is about to change all this. He’ll no longer be the kid everyone ignores and he envisions and plans the perfect ceremony and reception, where everyone assembled will acknowledge his new status as a man. Unfortunately for Bernie, things don’t quite go according to plan. First, Manny’s business fails, and suddenly the lavish hotel party that Bernie had been promised is replaced with a tiny affair in his parent’s front room. Worse than that: the World Cup Final is scheduled for the same day as his Bar Mitzvah. Despite Bernie’s pleas, Manny and Esther won’t hear of moving the date. Over the next few weeks, Bernie spends his spare time watching the World Cup like a hawk as England wins through the qualifying rounds and ultimately earns a spot in the final against West Germany. Bernie’s worst nightmare has come true. His only solace comes from his relationships with asthma specialist, Dr. Barrie, and his blind Hebrew instructor, Rabbi Linov, who give Bernie life lessons reminding him what it really means to become a man. All this leads up to one Bar Mitzvah day Bernie will never forget! “Sixty Six” will be shown at the Jewish Community Synagogue in Sedona, 100 Meadowlark Drive, on Tuesday, June 30 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 or $8 for Film Sedona members, and will be available starting at 3 p.m. that day at the synagogue. Cash or checks only are accepted. Film Sedona members can purchase tickets in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office, 1785 W. Hwy. 89A, Suite 2B, or by calling 928-282-1177.
