AVI NESHER / THE MONKEY HOUSE
A Funny, Thought Provoking Film
Saturday, Feb 24 at 7 PM
A once successful novelist tries to revive his fading career by launching a highly inventive scam. He recruits a reckless actress and trains her to assume the somber identity of a lit Masters student. Their lives will alter forever.
“ A delightful sophisticated mixture of literary Mystery, A witty comedy, and the moving character study of two lost souls who make a connection. Its a perfect movie for these troubled times, both funny and thought provoking, with an unpredictability that will keep you in suspense.” The Jerusalem Post
