Practical Magic
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Griffin Dunne
1998 / 105min / 35mm
The Owens sisters—flirty, footloose Gillian (Nicole Kidman) and introverted widow and mother Sally (Sandra Bullock)—have almost entirely decided to turn their backs on their family tradition of sorcery in their hex-haunted adult lives… until, that is, they’re threatened by an abusive boyfriend of Gillian’s, and have to take their witchcraft out of mothballs with a little help from aunts Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing. Featuring a veritable coven of spellcasting aunties, Dunne’s flamboyant fantasy farce has gradually accrued a loyal cult through its depiction of sisterly solidarity in the face of destructive machismo and its undeniable bouncy, beguiling charms.
Q&A with director Griffin Dunne on Sunday, December 1st moderated by moderated by NYT film critic, Beatrice Loayza.
