at E.B. Library film fest
The 21st Summer International Film Festival at the East Brunswick Public Library, Jean Walling Civic Center, will continue on July 22 with 1:30 and 8 p.m. screenings of the French musical The Same Old Song.
The 1998 film, which will be shown in its original language with English subtitles, is rated R. Running time is 98 minutes.
Set in Paris, the satirical romance is an homage to the offbeat musicals of the late Dennis Potter (Pennies From Heaven, The Singing Detective) in which characters burst into lip-synched song — often in reversed gender — at unlikely moments.
Admission is free of charge. Reservations are not required.
The film festival is sponsored by the Friends of the East Brunswick Public Library.
