Oxnard Film Society Presents Romería

Another in the foreign film series, this one from the Spain, in Spanish [with English subtitles]. It has been rated by Rotten Tomatoes: 90%/-- [Critics/Audiences]. It is rated NR.

*A beautifully rendered autobiographical tale, Romería is celebrated Spanish director Carla Simón's touching portrait of family origins. In a bravura performance, Llúcia Garcia stars as 18 year-old Marina, who travels to the glittering seaside town of Vigo determined to uncover information on her father. Gradually tracking down his siblings, she slowly learns uncomfortable secrets about her parents’ unconventional life and turbulent past. Beyond a tour de force coming of age story, Romería offers a moving, trenchant investigation on how family connections form new identities.*

"It’s all beautifully done: Carla Simón’s trademark ambling momentum and sun-soaked vistas are a brilliantly distracting balm that's increasingly rocked by moments of quiet devastation." **-** [Joe Creely](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/critic/joe-creely), [The Skinny](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/profiles/publication/2316)

**Critics Consensus from Rotten Tomatoes**

*Romería unfolds as a quietly observed, beautifully acted family study, where director Carla Simón's delicate sense of place and Llúcia Garcia's luminous presence combine to create a quietly powerful film.*

All of our events are intended to have a strong social component, something sitting together in a dark theater reading subtitles doesn't provide. So when you get to the theater, just buy your ticket and enter. In ore-COVID times, people would go to a nearby restaurant for a bit to eat and discussions about the movie. These post-movie gatherings were well attended. George, the president of OFS, selected Pacifico's Sushi Mex (to the left o the theater) to continue these get togethers. But attendence has been very poor, at least partially because George hasn't been announcing them before the movies. I'll keep listing these movies for the time being. And I'll be asking George if he intends to promote these post-movie events in the future.

Please enter theater by 3:15 for seating as these films can sell out. Tickets are $9.25 [$8.50 senior].
