Directed by Allan Fiterman, and written by Marcelo Florião, Aloysio de Abreu, and Laura Malin, the Brazilian comedy Now Boarding will be screened at 6 p.m. on Sat., Feb. 6, at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Special Free Tickets are available. See below.
According to the film’s press release, Now Boarding stars stage, screen, and TV veteran Marília Pêra as "an eccentric airport supervisor who secretly dreams she is Rita Hayworth." City of God’s Jonathan Haagensen plays "an outcast dreamer who tries to escape as a stowaway on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to New York." Not surprisingly, things don’t go quite as planned.
Also, the Now Boarding soundtrack includes "New York, New York," "Volare" and "Brazil." I’m not sure if Marília Pêra, who is an accomplished singer, actually performs those songs; if she does, that should be very interesting. Pêra, by the way, won the National Society of Film Critics best actress award for Hector Babenco’s social drama Pixote in 1981.
