It has the sweep and epic feel of some of the David Lean classics of old, yet has an immediate and art-house sensibility as well. Two-time Oscar winner Russell Crowe not only stars in this, and it’s his first time as a director too. As the summer movie season begins, you will see less and less of what we term “Avon movies” over the next few months, and THIS one needs your support! After this and “Far From the Madding Crowd” on May 22<sup>nd</sup>, it will be a long dry spell for you Avon art & indy fans!
