"To me you are perfect."Love, Actually? or Love, CRAFT-ually! It's the most wonderful time of the year to break down and analyze all your romantic-emotional baggage while you re-direct craft and create holiday cheer. KNITFLIX Vancouver presents: Love, Actually: A movie for crafters where we'll keep the lights on. Snuggle up and craft while you watch one of the best rom-coms of all time!
Rom-com master Richard Curtis (who also wrote FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, NOTTING HILL, BRIDGET JONES' DIARY) wrote and directs a star-studded cast in LOVE ACTUALLY, a holiday staple that's achieved a kind of cult-status in the years since its release in 2003. The mostly British ensemble (including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colin Firth and Laura Linney) totally shine in nine (!) intertwined stories examining the complexities of modern life and the one emotion that connects us all: love.
Although LOVE ACTUALLY is considered one of the most successful "rom-coms" of all time, it manages to stand apart from so many other titles of its ilk because explores emotional connectivity on a myriad of levels, not just romance - platonic love, the love between parents and their children, the love between siblings, etc. Tie stellar performances, some laugh-out-loud moments and a solid soundtrack up with a bow and some mistletoe, and you have an eternal crowd-pleaser! Among the (many) storylines are the handsome, newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer, a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary, a recently widowed single dad trying to navigate his young son through his first real crush, and a couple whose language barrier is eclipsed by their chemical attraction. Also starring Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, Rowan Atkinson, and more.
