Oxnard Film Society Presents The Blue Trail

Another in the foreign film series, this one from the Brazil, in Portugeseh [with English subtitles]. It has been rated by Rotten Tomatoes: 100%/93%-- [Critics/Audiences]. It is rated NR.

*In a not-so-distant dystopian future where the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of boosting the economy, 77-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her independence, she embarks on a journey to pursue the dreams she is not yet ready to abandon. Along the way, she discovers freedom, companionship, and the joys of going wherever the river takes her. Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the latest from director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull, Divine Love) is an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to take flight.*

**"Mascaro’s film charts a unique course itself and does so in under 90 minutes. Mascaro is in full control as is his main star for a triumph about overcoming the odds and fighting back against a culture that wants to throw the elderly overboard."** - [Randy Myers](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/critic/randy-myers), [San Jose Mercury News](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/profiles/publication/ERyRQvld)

**Critics Consensus from Rotten Tomatoes**

*Finding dignity and fresh beginnings in old age, The Blue Trail is a scrappy adventure that elevates its modest production value with ample doses of imagination.*

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].
