"Brothers" - June 5th

Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, June 5th at 7:05pm for “Brothers” at the Kendall Square Cinema. Look for Sean wearing a nametag and sitting with his crutches in the little seating area in the lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.

Soon they revert to familiar family rolesb nnik as the alcoholic Black Sheep, and Michael as the responsible Golden Boy. Shortly after commencing his tour of duty, Michael’s helicopter crashes and he is presumed dead, so Jannik becomes close to Michael’s wife Sarah (Connie Nielsen, Gladiator) and her daughters. But Michael survives the crash, and is on his way home…. Winner of the Audience Award for World Cinema (Drama) at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Susanne Bier (Open Hearts).
