The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, offers a vast selection of the very best in foreign films. Join fellow film enthusiasts to preview some of this collection as JavaVino Coffee and Wine Shop, 424 Main St., hosts free screenings on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 5-7 p.m. JavaVino offers appetizers, wine and coffee for purchase during the film. Participants are encouraged to then visit Downtown Racine's finest restaurants for dinner. The film, A Peck on the Cheek (Kannathil Muthamittal) directed by Mani Ratnam will be shown on Saturday, July 12.
In this award-winning film, a little girl's search for her biological mother who had abandoned her as a newborn baby is brought out poignantly. Amudha, adopted by Thiru and Indira and growing up with the couple's two sons, is blissfully unaware of her parentage, until the couple decides to inform her of it on her ninth birthday. At first shocked into disbelief, Amudha then expresses her determination to seek out for her biological mother. The search takes the family to strife-torn Sri Lanka, where Amudha comes face-to-face with reality, and reconciles herself to it. With films like Mouna Ragam, Alaipayuthe and now A Peck on the Cheek, director Mani Ratnam proves once again that he is at his best when tackling human emotions and relationships.
Because this film is not rated, it is not recommended for children under age 17.
