Joe Robinson will host our June 3 meeting at noon at a place somewhere in Portland or Beaverton to be announced. It is unclear yet whether we'll need or be able to provide a Zoom option. We will discuss the following two films:
The Promised Land (2023)

The area is under the rule of Frederik De Schinkel, a crooked, merciless nobleman who realized the threat this new farm represents to his corrupt dealings.
Writers: Nikolaj Arcel, Anders Thomas Jensen and Ida Jessen

A satirical dark comedy about a celebrity supermodel couple who decide to take a Mediterranean cruise with the ultra rich to try on their new elevated social status.

Stars: Thobias Thorwid, Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean
