RBFS presents THE DINNER

May 5th, 2017 - 4:00 pm
THE DINNER OPENING AT THE CINEMA ART THEATER
 
Starting on May 5th the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present THE DINNER, a psychological thriller based on Herman Koch’s international bestselling novel of the same name.
 
When Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a popular congressman running for governor, invites his troubled younger brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) to join him and his wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall) for dinner at one of the town’s most fashionable restaurants, the stage is set for a tense night. While Stan and Paul have been estranged since childhood, their 16-year old sons are friends, and the two of them have committed a horrible crime that has shocked the country. While their sons’ identities have not yet been discovered and may never be, their parents must now decide what action to take. As the night proceeds, beliefs about the true natures of the four people at the table are upended, relationships shatter, and each person reveals just how far they are willing to go to protect those they love.
 
A riveting story filled with many shocking twists and turns, THE DINNER is a chilling parable about the savage reality hidden beneath the surface of middle class lives. Lauren Humphries-Brooks from “We Got This Covered” describes THE DINNER as “an imperfect but fascinating film...a stellar cast delivers a deeply troubling and psychologically complex treatment of class and family.”
 
Screening times are 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on Friday and Saturday (May 5-6), 4:00 pm on Sunday (May 7), as well as 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on Wednesday and Thursday (May 10-11). Tickets can be purchased at the Cinema Art Theater, starting 30 minutes prior to each screening. Admission for a screening is $8 for RBFS members and $10 for future members. All screenings are held at the Cinema Art Theater located at 17701 Dartmouth Drive in Dartmouth Plaza, behind the Lewes Wawa.
