SUMMARY:CARMEN
DESCRIPTION:What happens when 30 years of quiet service turns into a case o
 f mistaken identity?\n\nThat’s the spark behind Carmen\, a vibrant comed
 y drama starring Natascha McElhone\, having its Kingston premiere at 7 p.m
 . Saturday\, March 7\, at the Kingston Library\, 61 Crown St. in Kingston.
 \n\nNOTE: This is the rescheduled screening from Jan. 17\, which was cance
 led due to snow.\n\nCarmen has spent her life since age 16 in the shadow o
 f her brother\, the local priest in their small Maltese village.\n\nWhen h
 e dies suddenly three decades later\, a twist of fate leads the villagers 
 to mistake her for his successor.\n\nInstead of correcting them\, she step
 s into the role — challenging patriarchal norms\, offering unconventiona
 l (and surprisingly effective) advice in the confessional\, and discoverin
 g her own voice and independence.\n\nCritics praise the film:\n\n 	“Joyo
 us.” — Beyond the Cinerama Dome\n 	“About a long‑overlooked woman 
 who finally comes out of her shell.” — Los Angeles Times\n 	“McElhon
 e delights with a charming and slightly loopy performance.” — The New 
 York Times\n\nThe 2021 film\, inspired by true events\, runs 1 hour 28 min
 utes and is not rated. It’s in English and Maltese with English subtitle
 s.\n\nThe film’s trailer can be seen on YouTube: tinyurl.com/Carmen-Movi
 esWithSpirit.\n\nThe screening will be followed by a discussion. Refreshme
 nts will be served.\n\nSuggested donation: $10 (ages 13 and up).\n\nMovies
  With Spirit\, now in its 20th season\, presents screenings exploring conn
 ection\, compassion and meaning. The monthly series has no religious affil
 iation and welcomes all beliefs.\n\nScreenings take place at diverse worsh
 ip and cultural spaces in Ulster County\, generally on the third Saturday 
 of each month. The series is organized by Gerry Harrington of Kingston.
