“After Fall, Winter” Director Q&A @ Quad Cinema
Fan of the films showing at Quad Cinema? Then be sure not to miss their final day of screening After Fall, Winter! A quick introduction to Quad Cinema and the Film from Quad:
The QUAD is a venerable theater owned and beautifully maintained by the same family since 1972. Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York, it’s an area inhabited by passionate moviegoers eager to see the best in independent, foreign and documentary films. We employ a first-rate staff including unionized projectionists and managers, each with over 25 years experience working at the QUAD. It has a reputation for being a well-run and successful venue, and books films from such major distributors as Miramax, Sony Pictures Classics, Fox Searchlight, Focus, Paramount, IFC, Weinstein, MGM, Warner Bros., Universal and Lionsgate.
This film is a dangerous, sexy, poignant and at times darkly funny story about two people who desperately want intimacy but have fashioned lives of reclusivity and emotional fracture which ultimately spells the doom of their great love. The film begins with Michael, in his mid forties, suicidal about his writing career, which once flourished and now is on a downturn. He leaves his home in New York and goes to Paris in hopes of igniting his passion for writing and life. He also has a penchant for S and M. Soon after his arrival he meets Sophie, a sexy, smart, soulful, nurse who helps dying people transition to the after world. She and Michael instantly have chemistry albeit combative. Sophie has a secret. Her other job is being a dominatrix. Throughout the film, Sophie is nursing a little girl, Anais, who is dying of leukemia. (Running time 2:10)
The Quad will have its final showing of After Fall, Winter on Thursday, February 2 with Writer/Director/Producer Eric Schaeffer present for a brief Q&A session after the 7:00 PM showing. Click here to visit their webpage for more info.
