The Visitor: 11th November 2009

Screening Date: 11th Nov 2009
Screening Time: 20:15hrs
Venue: Brogans Inn, Kilbrogan Hill

A recently widowed lonely and bitter college professor keeps an apartment in NYC that he has not been to for a time. Traveling there he is suddenly confronted with a Syrian musician and his Senegalese girlfriend living in it; apparently victims of a real estate scam. He decides to share the apartment with them and an unlikely friendship develops. This is a story torn from today’s events, wonderfully heartfelt–a tale of growth, change and renewal.

I saw this film in Christchurch NZ earlier this year when I was visiting my brother down under. I really liked the movie, some great character performances and excellent casting. A relatively low budget film that will warm your heart.
