SHOWTIMES AND TICKETS

This film has been chosen by our members from a list of the Little's most popular films of all time. 

The sweeping expanses of the Sahara are the setting for a passionate love affair in this adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel. A badly burned man, Laszlo de Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), is tended to by a nurse, Hana (Juliette Binoche), in an Italian monastery near the end of World War II. His past is revealed through flashbacks involving a married Englishwoman (Kristin Scott Thomas) and his work mapping the African landscape. Hana learns to heal her own scars as she helps the dying man.

As part of the Little Theatre’s 90th anniversary year, these special screenings revisit the films, moments and memories that have defined generations of cinema-going. Each film has been chosen for its place in our story — a celebration of the wonder and shared experiences that have filled our screens and auditorium for nine decades.
