French Film on MI: The Goat: La Chevre AKA Knock on Wood

FRENCH FILM (ENGLISH SUBTITLES) WITH WINE & CHEESE TASTINGS ON MERCER ISLAND: The Mercer Island Sister City Association, the Mercer Island Arts Council and Aljoya will co-host this French comedy in which one of the best, most serious detectives in France, (Gérard Depardieu) is teamed up with a luckless stumble-bum (Pierre Richard) and sent off to Central America to search for the klutzy daughter of a powerful magnate in this fast-paced and funny 1981 farce directed by Francis Veber.

Lance Rhodes, a featured scholar in the Humanities Washington's Speakers Bureau, will provide introduction and post commentary for the film. Wine and cheese will be hosted by Aljoya in the lobby at 6:30PM prior to the 7:30PM film. The film will be in French with English subtitles and is free to the public. Location: Aljoya, 2430 76th Avenue SE on Mercer Island. For questions or further information, call Carla Peterson, 232-5354.
