Can a proud 400-year-old whaling tradition survive a tsunami of modern animal-rights activism and colliding forces of globalism vs. localism? A Whale of a Tale reveals the complex story behind the ongoing debate. You can see the movie and take part in a question-and-answer session with the filmmaker, Megumi Sasaki, on Wednesday night, Dec. 5 at the Avon Theatre in Stamford.

Come to ‘The Big Lebowski’ at Avon Theatre Dressed in Lebowski-Themed Gear

Cult Classics: THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998)
DIRECTED BY: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen STARRING: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steven Buscemi, Julianne Moore

Please come dressed in your best Lebowski-themed gear to participate in our costume contest. Prizes will be awarded! The plot of this Raymond Chandler-esque comedy crime caper from the Coen Brothers pivots around a case of mistaken identity complicated by extortion, double-crosses, deception, embezzlement, sex, pot, and White Russians. In 1991, unemployed ’60s refugee Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) grooves into his laid-back Los Angeles lifestyle. One of the laziest men in L.A., he enjoys hanging with his bowling buddies, pompous security-store owner Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) and mild-mannered ex-surfer Donny (Steve Buscemi).
