Nowhere Boy

We wrap up a Glenviewings summer-long British film series next Friday (August 19th) with the John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy. This acclaimed film, inspired in part by the memoir of Lennon's half sister Julia Baird, stars Aaron Johnson as Lennon and Kristen Scott-Thomas as the influential Aunt Mimi. The period drama recounts the rarely told story of Lennon's youth growing up in Liverpool and provides considerable insight into, as J.R Jones of the Chicago Reader writes "how Lennon came by all the exuberance and melancholy".
Nowhere Boy screens at 2:00 and 6:30 in the Community room on Friday August 19th. We hope to see you then!
