Free movies are shown in the Durwood Film Vault, an original bank vault converted into a 28-seat movie theatre at the Central Library.
Your KCPL account gives you access to thousands of movies; films to check out from our Central Vault collection as well as to stream from Kanopy and hoopla. Our staff, Cullen and James, will announce a movie to discuss at the beginning of each month. You’ll have a few weeks to watch the movie. Then, on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m., we will meet on ZOOM and discuss. You can pop your own popcorn, wear your fuzzy slippers (or your dinner jacket) and talk cinema. See you at the movies!
In this Taiwanese romantic drama from acclaimed filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien, the beautiful Vicky (Shu Qi) drifts through her empty life in the sprawling metropolis of Taipei, maintaining a pointless relationship with her loser DJ boyfriend, Hao-Hao (Tuan Chun-hao), and an unsatisfying career as a nightclub hostess. As her romance becomes increasingly strained, she decides to take up with Jack (Jack Kao), a caring but criminally connected businessman. But this new relationship can't change Vicky's aimless nature, and her future remains as doubtful as ever.
This program is intended for individuals 18 years and older.
