Special to the Rappahannock News
The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community brings an offbeat comedy to rattle your funny bones next month.
From the “About Schmidt” director Alexander Payne comes Payne’s latest effort in the film “Sideways.” Tbuted as perhaps the most talented director of his generation, Payne’s “Sideways” is bitter-sweet and full of humor that’s both gentle and raucous.
Nominated in five categories for an Oscar including Best Actor and Actress in Supporting roles and Best Picture, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing this film at The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, March 4, 8:00 p.m.
“Sideways” stars Paul Giamatti as Miles, a schoolteacher and failed novelist, who has not gotten over his divorce of two years, and Thomas Haden Church as Jack, a has-been TV actor, heading nervously into a marriage that should bring him much needed stability. Miles, a wine enthusiast with a nose for Pinot Noir and a distinct distaste for Merlot, takes Jack on a last fling the week before his wedding to the Santa Y. ez Valley for a tour of its finest vineyards, tasting rooms and restaurants.
The two are as different as night and day. But the ex-college roommates have long ago bonded to form a prickly relationship in which sad-sack Miles brings a sense of responsibility and love for wine while the foolish Jack lends an irrepressible zest for life’s adventures. The pair picks up wme-sawy waitress Maya (Virginia Madsen) and Stephanie (Sandra Oh)
