Free Admission & Complimentary Movie Refreshments

The Cinema Appreciation Society meets monthly to present art house and classic movies of diverse genres with free admission and complimentary movie refreshments. A lively discussion will follow the movie. This month's offering is The Agony and The Ecstasy. The Agony and the Ecstasy is a 1965 American historical drama film directed by Carol Reed and starring Charlton Heston as Michelangelo and Rex Harrison as Pope Julius II. The film was partly based on Irving Stone's 1961 biographical novel of the same name, and deals with the conflicts of Michelangelo and Pope Julius II during the 1508–1512 painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
