Roundabout

"The Commitments' at Theatre

The acclaimed film "The Commitments" will be shown at The Theatre at Washington, Va., 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 29, the RAAC Sunday movie.

The film stars Robert Arkins and Michael Aherne. Oscar-winning director Alan Parker ("Midnight Express," "Come See the Paradise") introduces "The Commitments," a working-class band determined to bring soul to Dublin.

Parker's touching and humorous musical film follows the band from their shaky beginnings to their long-awaited moment of greatness. Try as you might, there's no resisting the Commitments: the film brings you the supple power of some of the most melodic, euphoric music ever written. A wonderful comedy-fantasy.
