Snap out of it! Bring your best Brooklyn swagger to Hot Docs, channeling your inner Cher and Nic Cage. While you're here, pick up a bottle of red from concessions and raise a glass to the memory of the beloved, dearly departed Canadian filmmaker Norman Jewison at this special screening of his raucous, energetic Moonstruck.
For this special tribute screening, Hot Docs welcomes Ira Wells, an assistant professor of literature at Victoria College in the University of Toronto, to celebrate the work of Jewison and host the filmmaker's eternal classic romantic comedy Moonstruck.
No sooner does Italian-American widow Loretta (Cher) accept a marriage proposal from her doltish boyfriend, Johnny (Danny Aiello), than she finds herself falling for his younger brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage). She tries to resist, but Ronny lost his hand in an accident he blames on his brother, and has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country. As Loretta falls deeper in love, she comes to learn that she's not the only one in her family with a secret romance.
Featuring an introduction by Toronto writer and professor Ira Wells.
