'Como Agua Para Chocolate': Port Chester Film Club Gets Romantic

PORT CHESTER, NY — If you're a cinephile who prefers your home theater systems, but would still like to connect with fellow film lovers to unpack favorite movies, the library has the perfect film club for you.

The Port Chester-Rye Brook Public Library announced that the library's Film Club will be meeting on September 27, at 7 p.m.

In this case, however, you might want to invite a special someone to your home screening.

The film chosen for the virtual session via Zoom is Like Water For Chocolate (1992), directed by Alfonso Arau.

In the movie, "the youngest daughter in her family, the beautiful Tita (Lumi Cavazos) is forbidden to marry her true love, Pedro (Marco Leonardi). Since tradition dictates that Tita must care for her mother, Pedro weds her older sister, Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi), though he still loves Tita. The situation creates much tension in the family, and Tita's powerful emotions begin to surface in fantastical ways through her cooking. As the years pass, unusual circumstances test the enduring love of Pedro and Tita."

Participants are asked to please watch the film on their own before the session. A limited number of copies will be available at the library starting September 5. The film is also available for streaming on AMAZON PRIME and HOOPLA.
