Our favorite moments in movies never leave us. In a 3-session film discussion series featuring film clips, Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker and writer Sara Lukinson revisits more of our favorite movies and characters, the people who dreamed them up, and the lasting memories they made in our lives and our myths.
Lukinson, who has won three Emmys and seven Writer’s Guild Awards, now teaches at NYU and the 92nd Street Y. Her personal essays have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine.
Session Information
Can This Really Be Love? Moonstruck and Notting Hill
Romance and comedy at its very best, when the most unexpected love turns everything and everyone upside down—one Italian style and the other British. Both films have a gallery of wonderful, unconventional characters, a family or family of friends. Sparkling and smart dialogue give the movies tons of heart, and roles that turned their young lead actors, Cher and Hugh Grant, into stars.
