Wednesday movie night at Il Caffé: ‘Lucky’

Movie night at Il Caffé, a charming Italian restaurant on a pedestrian road behind the Peón Contreras theater. Have dinner on your own at 6 to enjoy a free movie, aimed at English-speaking audiences, at 7.

Tonight’s film: It has been described as the performance of a lifetime, and that is backed up by the film’s 10 wins and 15 nominations at international film festivals, including multiple acting wins. Harry Dean Stanton was 90 when he performed in Lucky (2017), after a career spanning 63 years in both film and TV. It was his final performance; he died later that year.

Lucky tells the story of a 90-year-old US Navy veteran with set ideas, who finds that he has to come to grips with his mortality. One of Stanton’s few starring roles. Also featuring David Lynch, Ed Begley Jr, and Tom Skerritt.
