Movie Matinee: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore In-Person
In honor of Diane Ladd (1935-2025), we're showing this Oscar Award winning classic. Ladd plays the unforgettable waitress Flo, and was nominated for an Academy Award.
After her husband dies, Alice (Ellen Burstyn) and her son, Tommy, leave their small New Mexico town for California, where Alice hopes to make it as a singer. Money problems force them to settle in Arizona instead, where Alice takes a job as waitress in a small diner. She intends to stay in Arizona just long enough to make the money needed to head back out on the road, but her plans change when she begins to fall for a rancher named David (Kris Kristofferson).
"Scorsese's female-centered dramas are rare enough things, but Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is a bona fide classic." -- Austin Chronicle
"Alice is thoroughly enjoyable; funny, absorbing, intelligent." -- The New Yorker
"A real winner." -- Financial Times
