Altos de Chavón Regional Museum of Archeology invites you to participate in a Movie Forum being held on Thursday, July 25th, with the showing of “Chico & Rita” love movie, directed by the Spanish Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal.
Chico and Rita is a Spanish animated feature-length film. The story is set against backdrops of Havana, New York City, Las Vegas, Hollywood and Paris in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Review:
A gifted songwriter and beautiful singer chase their dreams – and each other – from Havana to New York and Las Vegas. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unite them, but their journey – in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero – brings heartache and torment…
It won the Goya Award for Best Animated Film at the 25th Goya Awards and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 84th Academy Awards (the first time that a Spanish full-length animated film had been nominated).
Chico and Rita will be played in Spanish language and will be subtitled in English.
