Harold Chapler’s popular film discussion series will conclude its current series with two final films. A hit of the 2006 Toronto Film Festival, Prague revolves around a quiet Danish filmmaker and his beautiful wife, who have been drifting apart for 15 years. They appear cordial, but when they travel from Denmark to Prague to collect the remains of the filmmaker’s late father, old memories surface, and secrets emerge that threaten the relationship.
Mr. Chapler will present background information before each screening and will lead an optional, short discussion afterward.
