Showing Tuesday June 16th — Goodbye Solo Emerson's Crawford Theater at 7:30 pm Goodbye Solo a film by Rahmin Baharani Winner, 2008 Venice Film Festival International Critics Prize “Wherever you live, when this film opens, it will be the best film in town.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times On the lonely roads of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, two men forge an improbable friendship that will change both of their lives forever. Solo is a Senegalese cab driver working to provide a better life for his young family. William is a tough Southern good ol‘ boy with a lifetime of regrets. One man‘s American dream is just beginning, while the other‘s is quickly winding down. But despite their differences, both men soon realize they need each other more than either is willing to admit. Through this unlikely but unforgettable friendship, GOODBYE SOLO deftly explores the passing of a generation as well as the rapidly changing face of America. ‘Goodbye Solo’ is the latest film from internationally acclaimed filmmaker Ramin Bahrani (‘Chop Shop,’ ‘Man Push Cart’). 'Solo' has been hailed as “A force of nature!” by Roger Ebert. And The New York Times’ A.O. Scott says it has “an uncanny ability to enlarge your perception of the world.” Come early to enjoy wine and gourmet pizzetta at Olivera Cafe in the lobby starting at 6:30 PM. Ticket sales in the Emerson Lobby start at 6:15 PM the day of the show or you can buy tickets in advance at Cactus Records. The price is $5.00 for students or seniors or $7.00 for general admission.
