‘Robot & Frank’ debuts with reception at Gables Cinema
The Coral Gables Art Cinema held a red-carpet, opening-night reception Friday night, Aug. 31, for the 35mm premiere the award-winning film Robot & Frank, starring Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon, The Ninth Gate) and Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise, Dead Man Walking).
Held over for a second week through Sept. 13, Robot & Frank won the Alfred P. Sloan prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Numerous film patrons launched their Labor Day weekend at the cinema, 260 Aragon Ave., enjoying opening-night screenings and the reception, which included food from Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Miller’s Ale House and an open bar courtesy of Bacardi.
In Robot & Frank, Langella, an aging “retired” jewel thief, is losing his memory, so his grown-up and very responsible son, played by James Marsden, installs an advanced caretaker robot in his home, though his daughter, played by Liv Tyler, is adamantly against it.
Sarandon, who presides over the now outmoded town library, is Langella’s somewhat mysterious only friend, until his robot sidekick comes along, and all three get drawn into Langella’s half-cocked schemes.
Tickets are available for purchase in advance at www.movietickets.com or in person at the box office during regular screening hours. Also visit the cinema website at www.gablescinema.com.
