New Year at the Cinema: "American Beauty"
About this event
On the last evening of the year, the aesthetics of the cult film "American Beauty" will come to life at "Romuva" – from red rose petals to an atmosphere filled with unexpected spectacles.
In the cinema lobby, guests will be greeted by live music, "Diamonds Show" acrobats transformed into roses, and a glass of sparkling wine to add to the festive mood. The evening will be crowned by the five-time Oscar-winning film by director Sam Mendes.
✧✦ About the film "American Beauty" ✧✦
Sam Mendes' debut feature film became one of the most prominent satires of American society at the end of the 20th century and won five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Conrad L. Hall's cinematography, Thomas Newman's hypnotic score, and memorable rose petal imagery create the film's unique atmosphere, where biting humor intertwines with a melancholic look at the search for beauty, happiness, and the meaning of life.
