Bring in the new year with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn in “Funny Face” Thursday, January 11, at 7:00 at the Cerrito!

Fred Astaire as a blasé high-fashion photographer? Audrey Hepburn as an introverted bookstore clerk? It could happen! And lots more happens in this delightful confection of a romance.

It starts in Greenwich Village, where Astaire “discovers” Hepburn and sees a future for her as a fashion model. Then, they whisk off to Paris for an up-and-down adventure, which includes Gershwin songs, and dancing, and much more. Along the way, we’re treated to a bit of satire toward the high fashion world, and even Existentialism. All photographed with high style and imagination, directed by Stanley Donen, with four Oscar nominations.

What a way to start a new year!

“Funny Face” plays once only on Thursday, January 11 at 7:00 p.m.. All seats are $9.00. Moviegoers are strongly advised to buy advance tickets at the box office or online, as many shows sell out. Arriving early is a good idea, in order to choose your seat and also order delicious food and wine or beer.

Scene

Do you have a favorite thing to eat at Scene yet? There are so many possibilities—including flatbread pizzas, a charcuterie and cheese sampler, baked sandwiches, “bites,” salads, and desserts. You can enjoy them there, or have them brought to your seat while you watch the movie. It’s also a fun place to hang out, with special wines and beers available. Check it out—on the right side of the theater, as you enter.
