SUMMARY:Norman - 1:30PM
DESCRIPTION:Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer\nSunday\, October 15\, 1:30pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 1\nWritten and Directed by: Joseph Cedar\nCast: Richard Gere\, Michael Sheen\, Steve Buscemi\, Dan Stevens\, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lior Ashkenazi\nIsrael/USA / 2016 / Drama / 14A for some language\, English and Hebrew with English subtitles / 118 min. \n  \n“Gere\, who thus far has been unrecognized by the Academy\, is flat-out brilliant and deserves Oscar attention.” – Sr. Rose Pacatte\, St. Anthony Messenger \n“Gere delightfully soft-shoes his way through Norman\, surfacing the character’s loneliness without unduly exploiting it.” – Simon Houpt\, Globe and Mail \n  \nNorman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere) only wants to matter. Living a lonely life in the shadow of power and money\, he uses any angle or connection to put himself in a position of significance. He is an opportunist\, just not a very good one. Until he finally bets on the right horse by buying a pair of expensive shoes for Micha Eshel (Lior Ashkenazi)\, a lowly Israeli politician. When Micha becomes Prime Minister\, Norman finds himself in the center of a geopolitical drama beyond anything he could have imagined. Using his small-time skills\, Norman tries to solve a growingly complex puzzle with big-time implications. This everyman’s journey is filled with the comedy\, drama\, and tragedy of a man propelled out of anonymity yet ultimately too small to ever be valued. \n  \nAwards: \nNOMINATED – Best American Independent Film\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2017 \n
