In this episode, Abby’s picks take us on two epic, life-affirming journeys about how fate, consequence, and coincidence connect us all. Join us for a discussion of Magnolia (1999) and Cloud Atlas (2012).
Magnolia (1999) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
An epic mosaic of many interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.
Cloud Atlas (2012) dir. Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, and Tom Tykwer
A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell.
Join us next time for a special Halloween Extravaganza!
