During Cottonwood's First Friday opening, June 6th, The Independent Film Society of Colorado will present two screenings of MUCH ADO ABOUT DYING (2024, 1h 24m) 4 PM and 6:30 PM For tickets go to @ifsoc or https://ifsoc-docs.eventive.org/When the filmmaker Simon Chambers receives a call from his elderly gay uncle – “I think I may be dying!” – he takes it as a summons. As it turns out, eccentric Uncle David, a retired actor living alone in a cluttered, mouse-infested London house, is being dramatic, sort of: For the next five years, Chambers both cares for and documents him, through all his performative exuberance (constantly acting out passages of King Lear) and anarchic charisma, as various people (including a sexy young hustler) possibly take advantage of him. “Pulls off a remarkable feat: a story of an elderly man’s farewell that manages to be simultaneously touching, endearing and often riotously funny." - Matthew Carey, Deadline IFSOC PRESENTS | MUCH ADO ABOUT DYING | 4 PM OR 6:30 PM | DOORS OPEN 30 MINUTES PRIOR | UPSTAIRS AT COTTONWOOD | DAVID H.
