Alexander Payne Retrospective - Sideways only

In anticipation of Alexander Payne's new film "The Descendants", the Phoenix Film Society will be screening two of his award-winning films.

November 10th at 7pm, "Sideways"

Next up on November 10th is "Sideways" starring Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen. This film was nominated five Oscars and also a win for Alexander Payne for Best Screenplay. It was the first film ever screened for the Phoenix Film Society. There will be a discussion hosted by Chris LaMont following this film.

Synopsis:

In this intoxicating, intelligent comedy, director Alexander Payne (Election, About Schmidt) serves up "one of the best movies of the year" (Entertainment Weekly) about the ups, downs and sideways journeys of life. A wine-tasting road trip through California's famed Central Coast takes an unexpected detour as Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church) hit the gas en route to their mid-life crisis. The comically mismatched pair soon find themselves drowning in wine, women... and laughter!

"About Schmidt" is also screening on November 8th. Purchase tickets individually or purchase both films and save.

Both films will be screened at Harkins Scottsdale 101.

Ticket prices for one film are $8 or get both for $10
