The Goddard Center’s Fall Movie Series continues with Proof (PG-13) at 6:30 tonight. Movie admission is $5 per person, which includes beverages and light refreshments.
From the acclaimed director of “Shakespeare in Love,” “Proof” stars Oscar winners Gwyneth Paltrow (Best Actress, “Shakespeare in Love,” 1998) and Anthony Hopkins (Best Actor, “Silence of the Lambs,” 1991), along with Jake Gyllenhaal (“Jarhead,” “Brokeback Mountain”) and Hope Davis (“About Schmidt”).
It’s a powerful story of a young woman haunted by her father’s past and the shadow of her own future. Catherine (Paltrow) has devoted years to caring for her brilliant, but mentally unstable, father, Robert (Hopkins), a mathematical genius.
But when his genius slips away, he leaves behind a mystery that affects her life as she tries to come to grips with her possible inheritance — his insanity.
Complicating matters are one of her father’s ex-students who wants to search through his papers and her estranged sister who shows up to help settle his affairs. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn.
