To kick off the 20th anniversary celebration, Cinequest kicks off with Emmy Award-winner Brian Cox and emerging actor Paul Dano(from Taking Woodstock, There Will Be Blood among others).
The synopsis follows:
Jacques is as cantankerous as they come. He drinks. He smokes. He swears. His entire life revolves around the bar that he owns and lives in, which doubles as his own oasis, where a small group of regulars is allowed. Jacques' philosophy is simple: No women; no walk-ins; and there is no problem that can’t be solved by cursing, a philosophy that has served him well but for the fact that it has left him with one friend: his dog.
Jacques finds a commonality in Lucas, a homeless young man whom Jacques takes into his bar and home to teach him the trade. Not to be mistaken for charity, Jacques teaches Lucas that a man needs to know that he can rely on his bar always being there. Though on the surface a truly odd couple, something emerges—whether one would call it a friendship or not—that fosters a mutual respect and reliance on each other.
The Good Heart is an incredibly well-observed and engaging film to start the Cinequest celebration.
General admission pricing is $40.00 per person for the screening and party. Pricing for the screening is $12.00 per ticket. Buy your tickets now.
