About the event
Join us for our Live Organ & A Movie series. Hosted by Matias Bombal and music played by Dave Moreno. This series combines live organ music and a classic movie all rolled into one.
Nominated for 11 Oscars, this dark film-noir tale is about an aging silent film queen, Norma Desmond, refuses to accept that her time in the limelight has finished – she lives as a recluse with the deranged beliefs that her stardom is as strong as ever. After meeting Joe Gillis, a young, hack screenwriter, she hires him to write a screenplay starring her as an effort to set up her comeback in film. The screenwriter believes he can manipulate her, but soon learns the difficulty of such a task. Furthermore, his ambivalence about their relationship, coupled with Norma’s demented unwillingness to let go, leads to some damaging consequences for both parties involved.
