fa/mily friendly
It’s the time of year where families, both related and found, come together to celebrate the holidays. Why not all see a movie for the whole family together? Throughout November, come see an a/perture approved family friendly film, appropriate for the whole family, with art-house cred.
Whether your relationships are complicated, like the real-life father daughter pairing of Ryan and Tatum O’Neal in Peter Bogdonavich’s screwball classic Paper Moon; full of creativity and care like in Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson’s first stop-motion film (which is also in contention for the greatest Fall film of all time) or you have an eccentric family member, or more specifically, an sometimes clueless, always kind uncle like Jaques Tati’s endlessly charming Monsieur Hulot in Mon Oncle, there’s something for everyone at a/perture this fall.
