This film features Nicolas Cage, who always adds some crazy to his characters, and Meryl Streep, who rarely does but more than makes up for that in this rollicking roller-coaster ride of a story within a story. It would take more than the words allotted here to describe the narrative but suffice to say the plot involves the hunt for a rare orchid with aphrodisiac qualities, and a tormented writer. It all adds up to the one of the most original films ever. Instructor Paul Marino will introduce the film, raise questions to ponder and host a post-viewing discussion. Sponsor: Chases on the Beach, Where it’s Always Sunny.

Fee: $7 includes glass of wine or bottle of water.
