FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"

Description

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story. October 18: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010, 113 min) Genre-smashing director Edgar Wright spins a giddy, hyperkinetic, neon-hued whirling dervish of magical realism. Meet charming slacker Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), bass guitarist for the garage band SexBob-omb, who just met the girl of his dreams (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers? His new crush has a rogue's gallery of evil exes he must vanquish. The all-star cast includes Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Jason Schwartzman and Alison Pill.
