**From Producer Darren Aronofsky**
With Some Kind of Heaven, first-time feature director Lance Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, Some Kind of Heaven invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents – and one interloper – who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this candy-colored documentary offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.
“Those nostalgic for the fond portraits of eccentric Americana in Errol Morris’ early work—and pretty much everyone else—will be delighted by SOME KIND OF HEAVEN” — Variety “This beautifully crafted documentary gives an honest, open, and deeply human look at getting older.” — Screen ZealotsMusic Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory.
