It's Sunday Movie Club! It's like a book club for movies.
Join us tonight for Calle Malaga.
Described as "a lovely ode to growing old but not giving in to age", the film follows a widow who is forced to leave her long-time home.
Also described as, "comforting, luminous, and cathartic".
Rotten Tomato critics gave it 98% positive reviews and the film won Audience Choice Awards at 4 international film festivals.
With a lively discussion following the film, Sunday Movie Club promises to be a thoughtful evening.
5:30 at the Iowa. Shown with subtitles.

Singin' in the Rain - Tonight's (July 16) Throwback Thursday feature. The Movie starts at 7. Popcorn is half off.
You'll want to sing and dance in the aisles to this classic, feel good musical movie starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor.
Singin' trivia: On two songs, "Would You" and parts of "You Are My Lucky Star", Debbie Reynolds voice was dubbed by professional singer Betty Noyes. This created an ironic parallel to the movies story line.
Come and see if you can tell the difference in voices.
