"The Testament of Ann Lee" - Jan 18th

Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Jan 18th at 4:15pm for The Testament of Ann Lee at the Somerville Theatre. Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. After the film we will descend on a local restaurant for discussion over dinner and/or drinks.

From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
