Westhampton Beach - As part of its "Finest in World Cinema" series, the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen director Claire Denis' touching drama "35 Shots of Rum" on Sunday, October 25 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium.

Set among a small circle of friends and neighbors in a Parisian suburb, "35 Shots of Rum" is a warm, funny and enchanting film from the French filmmaker Claire Denis.

Lionel, a metro conductor, lives with his beautiful University student daughter, Josephine, in a bustling apartment complex. They have shared the same space for many years and have grown accustomed to each other's company. Lately, Josephine has been spending a lot of time with Noé, and handsome young neighbor, while Lionel is finding himself drawn into a romance with his close friend Gabrielle. As their lives are pulled in different directions, father and daughter realize they must confront an aspect from their past in order to embrace what lies ahead.

Sumptuously filmed, this gloriously delicate and sublime new film casts a lovely spell while exploring the mysterious complexities that surround evolving relationships, whether romantic or parental. It's a rare film in which the plot is not only driven by what people say, but mostly by what they hold back.

"35 Shots of Rum" is in French and German with English subtitles, Not Rated, and 100 minutes. For more information go to www.cinemaguild.com/35shots.
