LL:DDV: IWD movie night - The Hours
Celebrate International Women's Day with Radical Women and the Freedom Socialist Party at a Gala Movie Night THE HOURS Sunday, 2 March, 7.15 pm Upstairs, Westgarth Theatre, 89 High Street, Northcote Based on a Pulitzer-prize winning novel by Michael Cunningham, the film employs as its foundation and inspiration Virginia Woolf's own classic novel, Mrs Dalloway, with its central character, Clarissa. Set during a single day, yet spanning three different eras, the film focuses in the parallel lives of three women. Nicole Kidman -- wearing a prosthetic nose -- is virtually unrecognisable as English author Virginia Woolf, whose battle with mental illness eventually led to her tragic suicide in 1941. Opening at the moment of her suicide, the film regresses to 1923, and Woolf's life and work as she crafted her most memorable character -- Clarissa Dalloway. In 1950s Californian suburbia, another woman, Laura Brown (played by Julianne Moore), struggles with alienation and depression. Trapped by a clinging young son and an adoring husband, who she does not love, the desperate woman tries to prepare for her husband's birthday but can=B9t stop reading Mrs Dalloway. Finally, in modern day Manhattan, Clarissa Vaughan (played by Meryl Streep), a lesbian who lives with her lover and daughter, struggles to prepare a party for her ex-husband, who is dying of AIDS. Beautifully overlapping editing sews the women's interwoven stories seamlessly together. This special evening will kick off a four month long $75,000 international fund drive for our two feisty socialist feminist publications -- the Freedom Socialist newspaper and the Australian Freedom Socialist Bulletin. So get the International Women's Day season off to a great start by enjoying a fun night out and helping two publications which the founder of this day of socialist feminist action, Clara Zetkin, would enthusiastically support! Screening followed by a wine and cheese supper in the ornate upstairs foyer. Tickets are $20 solidarity price, $15 regular or $12 concession. For tickets send a cheque, payable to FSP, PO Box 266 West Brunswick Vic 3055. For more information call Alison on 9386-5065 or e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can't make it?
