12/4 - You Resemble Me
Please join Working Room for our second exclusive screening: You Resemble Me (2022) directed by Dina Amer. This movie was recommended by my friend Meesh who saw it last month with a Q&A with the director. I always trust Meesh’s judgment — she has some of the best taste in movies!
RSVP is required for this screening, as our space is small! We are asking for $8-$10 to cover the licensing cost. More information + details on how to RSVP can be found here: https://workingroom.online/youresembleme.html
Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this story about two sisters on the outskirts of Paris. After the siblings are torn apart, the eldest, Hasna, struggles to find her identity, leading to a choice that shocks the world. Director Dina Amer takes on one of the darkest issues of our time and deconstructs it in an intimate story about family, love, sisterhood, and belonging.
We will also be screening The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) by Peter Greenaway on Monday, November 28 at 8 PM. This is an informal screening — bring your blankets and pillows to snuggle on the studio floor! RSVP appreciated, but not required.
