DECORAH – Decorah Public Library is pleased to announce the next film for Decorah Public Cinema. One Battle After Another will be screened on Friday, April 10 at 8 p.m. in the library's mezzanine. Decorah Public Cinema screens independent, award winning, and foreign films on the second Friday of each month, creating a space for the community to gather and enjoy thought-provoking films in a relaxed, welcoming environment. All screenings are free and open to adults 18 and older. April's screening will feature One Battle After Another, the latest film from Academy Award winning writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Punch Drunk Love), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn. It is loosely based on Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland and won six academy awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. "We're thrilled to offer this new programming that brings our community together around the shared experience of film," said Zach Row-Heyveld, DPL assistant director. "The mezzanine provides the perfect setting for discovering new films and getting a chance to see things that don't make it to local theaters." Complimentary popcorn and snacks will be available, with a free will donation box to support future programming. Seating is first-come, first-served, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early.
