Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
October 21: An Inspector Calls (1954, Approved, 80 min)
Adapted from J.B. Priestley’s landmark play, this twisty, supernatural mystery is a savage satire on high-brow British socialites. Like a moral whirlwind, the enigmatic, superbly insinuating Inspector Poole (Alastair Sim) interrupts a pampered family’s dinner party to question their links to a suspected suicide.
