THE EXPERIENCE
Welcome to Movie Book Club—for anyone who loves movies, books, or simply having opinions about both. Hosted by author Margaret Malone, each session invites you to watch a literary adaptation and then stick around for a warm, lively, and lightly irreverent post-screening conversation. Bring your thoughts, your questions, your favorite passages, and your spiciest hot takes.
Read the book if you want, or just show up for the movie! Either way, you’ll leave with new ideas, new questions, and maybe a new favorite character to lovingly overanalyze.
ON SCREEN: The Remains of the Day
1993. Directed by James Ivory. Runtime: 2 hrs 14 min. Rated PG.
A rule-bound head butler’s world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master’s cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.
