An Evening with David Cronenberg
Wednesday, November 9, 8:00 pm
A special screening of A History of Violence (David Cronenberg, 2005, USA, 96 min), followed by a conversation with David Cronenberg, Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, and William Hurt
Tickets: $30 general public, $25 Film Society members
Special thanks to the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation for its generous support of this program.

Widely hailed as one of the year’s best films, A History of Violence is the story of Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen), who lives with his wife Edie (Maria Bello) and two children in a sleepy Indiana town, operating the local diner. One day two tough guys roll into town and eventually into Tom’s diner. Soon they’re robbing the place and threatening to kill everyone in it; Tom manages to subdue the two of them, and soon he’s a national hero—helping some people who’ve been looking for Tom to discover exactly where to find him.

One of the most consistently provocative filmmakers of our time, David Cronenberg, together with his stars Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, and William Hurt, will discuss A History of Violence immediately following this screening with Film Society Program Director Richard Peña.
