Film Club: Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

The film club selection for April is Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974).

After her husband dies, Alice (Ellen Burstyn) and her son, Tommy, leave their small New Mexico town for California, where Alice hopes to make it as a singer. Money problems force them to settle in Arizona instead, where Alice takes a job as waitress in a small diner. She intends to stay in Arizona just long enough to make the money needed to head back out on the road, but her plans change when she begins to fall for a rancher named David (Kris Kristofferson).

The Library will screen Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore on Friday, April 19th at 1pm and Monday, April 22nd at 6pm in the Marcy Room.

All Film Club Screenings are free and open to the public. Snacks will be provided.

We also have DVDs you can borrow at the circulation desk!

Sign up for our film discussion here, which will be on Wednesday, April 24th at 6:30pm on Zoom.

For more information, reach out to David at sto@noblenet.org or call (781) 438-1324.
