You are invited to join other TTN movie buffs this Friday for the highly-rated film, Hit the Road. We are meeting for the 4:45 showing. As always, since the theater is small, get your tickets online at the Living Room theater website in advance. Meet in the lobby around 4:30. Join us, it's lots of fun and interesting movie talk afterwards. HIT THE ROAD STORY, son and collaborator of embattled Iranian master Jafar Panahi, makes a striking feature debut with this charming, sharp-witted, and deeply moving comic drama. Hit the Road takes the tradition of the Iranian road-trip movie and adds unexpected twists and turns. It follows a family of four – two middle-aged parents and their sons, one a taciturn adult, the other a ebullient six-year-old – as they drive across the Iranian countryside. Over the course of the trip, they bond over memories of the past, grapple with fears of the unknown, and fuss over their sick dog. Unspoken tensions arise and the film builds emotional momentum as it slowly reveals the furtive purpose for their journey. The result is a humanist drama that offers an authentic, raw, and deeply sincere observation of an Iranian family preparing to part with one of their own.
