On March 6th, join us at the Capitol Centre for a one-night-only screening of MEMORY, the acclaimed new film by writer-director Michel Franco, starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard.
Silvia (Jessica Chastain) works at a public home in New York City for adults struggling with mental health conditions. She leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. She meets Saul (Peter Sarsgaard) in the worst circumstances, after he has creepily followed her home from their high school reunion party and she finds him dripping wet and freezing outside her door the next morning. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.
“Fueled by performances worth treasuring from Chastain and Sarsgaard, this impossible love story between a woman who can’t forget and man who can’t remember slowly works its way into your mind and heart. Filmmaker Michel Franco makes sure you’ll be moved to tears.”

“This is an absorbing story, acted with superlative delicacy and maturity by Chastain and Sarsgaard.”

“Chastain and Sarsgaard give a pair of haunting, expert performances as damaged people making sense of their own agony together.”
