Festival Screening – August 5, 2015 @ 9:30 PM at Piazza Grande

Meryl Streep takes on a whole new gig – a hard-rocking singer-gutarist – for Oscar®-winning director Jonathan Demme and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody in Ricki and the Flash. In an original and electrifying film loaded with live musical performances, Streep stars as Ricki Rendazzo, a guitar heroine who made a world of mistakes as she follows her dreams of rock-n-roll stardom. Returning home, Ricki gets a shot at redemption and a chance to make things right as she faces the music with her family.

Director – Jonathan Demme
