Dozens of OLLI members appreciate instructor Rene Viargues’ love of film study. Following our now familiar remote-learning practice of using Netflix at home, followed by subsequent discussion in Zoom, Rene will choose four films for review and group discussion available on Netflix in October/November. Films will be related by theme or genre. Because Netflix frequently changes films, actual titles will be posted on our registration website and the OLLI blog in October, closer to the start of the class. The four films, in order of their weekly screening are the following: The Laundromat (2019), directed by Steven Soderberg, with Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, and Meryl Streep; Dolemite Is My Name (2019) with Eddie Murphy and Keegan-Michael Key; A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018), with Will Forte; and, a parody on the Johnny Cash biopic (Walk the Line) titled Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007), directed by Jake Kasdan and starring John C. Reilly and Jenna Fischer.
