Cost: Free
My Tender & Affectionate Beast (1978. 105 minutes)— Rich in imagery and atmosphere, Emil Loteanu’s intoxicating feature is an adapted version of Anton Chekov’s novel of innocence corrupted - ‘The Shooting Party’. A naive, but ambitious peasant girl is willingly led astray by the bored gentry. A subtle critique of an aristocracy steeped in decadence, lust, deceit and corruption. (In Russian with English subtitles). Film Forum Coronado is held in the Winn Rooms m at the Coronado Public Library, twice a month, with a brief introduction before the film and a discussion afterward, led by Ralph DeLauro. This program is presented by the Coronado Public Library and the Coronado Island Film Festival.
