This Evening: Rockin’ to the Oldies

Nick Meyer |

Of all the movies showing during the Cinema Series this summer, tonight's cinematic extravaganza,Young@Heart, is probably my favorite. This award-winning, feel-good documentary fixates on a unique vocal choir that tackles the likes of Radiohead, Sonic Youth, The Clash, and David Bowie. Its members would rarely be called “hip,” however, as their median age is 80. As cameras follow the seniors as they prepare for a big gig, we get to know the characters driving this humorous and talented group, and, ultimately, feel like a part of them. From packed performance halls to tearful hospital bedsides, Young@Heart is the kind of film that pulls at the hearts strings and well as guitar strings. As usual, the show starts at 9:30pm in the infamous alley that would be 205 Graham Ave. Details.
