Westhampton Beach - As part of its "Finest in World Cinema" series, the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen director
Ben Sombogaart's romantic drama "Bride Flight" on Tuesday, August 2, Wednesday, August 3 and Thursday, August 4 at 8 p.m.
Andrew Botsford, former associate editor of The Southampton Press and editor of its Arts and Living section, will introduce the summer films each Tuesday Night, and lead an informal discussion, with a special guest, following the film, as part of the "Tuesday Night at the Movies with Andrew and Friends" series.
"Bride Flight" is a lavish romantic drama that charts the lives of three women who escape the gloom of post-WWII Holland for what they hope will be a better life in New Zealand: Ada, the shy but sensual farm girl, Marjorie, who dreams of a big family, and Esther, a Holocaust survivor who aspires to be a fashion designer, become fast friends during the long flight taking them to their waiting husbands, who have already settled in Christchurch. On the flight the women also meet Frank, a dashing young man who will play a large role in each of their lives. Upon arrival, they part ways to start their new lives, but their paths continue to cross with chance meetings resulting in adultery, betrayal and near tragedy leading up to a reunion 50 years later.
"Bride Flight" is in Dutch and English, Rated R, and 130 minutes.
