SOME KIND OF HEAVEN | Virtual Film Screening

January 10, 2021 by Alanna Raffel

Produced by Darren Aronofsky & The New York Times

With SOME KIND OF HEAVEN, first-time feature director Lance Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, SOME KIND OF HEAVEN invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents – and one interloper – who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this candy-colored documentary offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.

THIS FILM WILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO RESIDENTS OF PA, NJ, DE & FL.
