The Row House Cinema in Lawrenceville (map) is showing the 1992 Studio Ghibli film Porco Rosso (紅の豚) through July 23 as part of its "Airplanes" series. A synopsis, from a 2011 New York Times review:
Set during the political volatility of between-the-wars Italy, Hayao Miyazaki’s animated 1992 adventure “Porco Rosso” introduces an unlikely hero: a portly, chauvinistic seaplane pilot with the head of a pig and the heart of Rhett Butler.Ticket and showtime information is available on the theater's website. The Thursday screening is a "Kids Will Be Kids" show:
The snout grew courtesy of a mysterious curse, but the heart, like Rhett’s, beats for only one woman: a sexy chanteuse who runs a popular resort on the Adriatic — a floating Rick’s Café. Once an ace fighter pilot, Porco has deserted from the Italian military (“I’d rather be a pig than a fascist,” he explains) and now works as a freelance bounty hunter and scourge of aerial pirates.
A family movie where where kids are allowed to run around and be kids. A little lower on the volume as well. Please note this will be distracting to the quiet movie watcher.
