Casa Luz Rooftop Cimema presents "Being the Ricardos" Sunday January 30, 7:30

This coming week we will be featuring the first of Melody's Acadamy Award Film Series for 2022. We start with "Being the Ricardos" with Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.
CNN: "Presenting a far richer story than a simple biopic, "Being the Ricardos" turns writer-director Aaron Sorkin loose again on the medium of television and produces one of the year's most satisfying movies. That it was made for a streaming service, Amazon, is a wrinkle even the legendarily foresighted Desi Arnaz surely couldn't have imagined.
In a clever framing device, Sorkin builds the narrative around a "scary week" in the lives of Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and her husband/co-star Arnaz (Javier Bardem), as filtered through the recollections of those who worked on their top-rated sitcom, "I Love Lucy." The film then uses that confined window to revisit the couple's courtship and how they conquered TV through a series of deftly constructed flashbacks."
Roger Ebert: "Luckily, there is a lot more to his "Being the Ricardos," a complex, enjoyable gamble that comes with a big bright smile and something a touch darker underneath it, much like the larger-than-life heroine at its heart."

The Academy Awards nominations won’t be official until February 8th although it’s obvious what’s going to get nominated. For the most part these films have been streaming for awhile now but for those who don’t have a big TV or want to view a film on something larger than an iPad… here we go. Casa Luz is open air on all sides and you can move your chair to where you feel most comfortable. A portion of the donations this week will go to the Spay and Neuter Clinic coming up.
