Hope Gap is the next movie up in the Arts Council of New Westminster’s Last Mondays at the Movies series.
It’s on Monday, March 30 at 7 p.m. at Massey Theatre.
The film stars Annette Bening and Bill Nighy as Grace and Edward, who’ve been married for 29 years and who live in a small seaside town near a cove under the cliffs called Hope Gap. When their son Jamie (Josh O’Connor) comes to visit for the weekend, Edward lets him know he plans to leave Grace – that same day.
“There are no villains; only good people who’ve lived too long with old mistakes and are now paying the price,” says a synopsis of the film. “There are no easy answers, and no simple paths to redemption. A husband, a wife, a son are forced to face hard truths, and out of those truths to fashion new lives. In the end, Hope Gap is a story of survival.”
The Last Mondays at the Movies series, presented in partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit, brings a variety of Canadian and international movies to the screen on the last Monday of the month.
Doors for all the screenings open at 6:30 p.m., and the theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave.
Tickets are $9 general admission, or $8 for seniors and students, available in advance at www.ticketsnw.ca or (cash only) at the door.
The series continues in April with The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open, followed by Clemency in May.
