Friday, May 26, 2017, 2 – 4pm Moonlight 111 minutes (2016) PG May: Favourites of 2016. The winner of the 2017 Academy Award for Best Picture (no, really), Moonlight is a lyrical, emotional exploration of the age-old story of adolescence and manhood, but one told in a very modern idiom. Unfolding over the course of several years, the film follows its protagonist Chiron over 3 distinct periods, played by 3 different actors, as the character navigates a harsh landscape of poverty and drug addiction towards a kind of acceptance. The film earned awards for supporting actor Mahershala Ali ( House of Cards ) and for director Barry Jenkins, who only directed one film prior to this.
