Thursday, August 13, 2009 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (GMT+1000)
Hobsons Bay Libraries invite you to view the film Romulus, My Father
Romulus, My Father is based on Raimond Gaita's critically acclaimed memoir. It tells the story of Romulus, his beautiful wife, Christina, and their struggle in the face of great adversity to bring up their son, Raimond. It is the tale of a boy trying to balance a universe described by his deeply moral father amidst the experience of heartbreaking absence and neglect from a depressive mother. It is, ultimately, a story of impossible love that celebrates the unbreakable bond between father and son.
Come along to see how the filmmaker solved the problem of which memories to choose, where to start and how to reproduce the book's reflectiveness while staying inside the mind of a child.
