March Lineup
March’s theme centers on the pursuit of ambition. This month, we’re screening films that reflect the determination, risk, and persistence required to bring an idea—or a goal—within reach. Join us in the screening room for stories of vision and resolve, paired with great wine and an unforgettable evening.
Rocky (1976)
March 20, Doors open at 6pm
Directed by John G. Avildsen, Rocky premiered in 1976 and became one of the most beloved underdog stories in American cinema. Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, the film follows small-time boxer Rocky Balboa as he’s given an unlikely shot at the heavyweight championship—an opportunity that tests his grit, heart, and resolve.
A critical and commercial success, Rocky won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Talia Shire—part of the Coppola family—received an Academy Award nomination for her role as Adrian. The film’s cultural impact continues decades later, with its story and characters remaining widely recognized across generations.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
March 27, Doors open at 6pm
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Tucker: The Man and His Dream tells the story of American entrepreneur Preston Tucker and his effort to bring the innovative Tucker 48 to market in postwar Detroit. Starring Jeff Bridges in the title role, the film also features Joan Allen and Martin Landau.
Landau received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and the film earned additional nominations for Cinematography and Art Direction. Though modest at the box office, Tucker was met with strong critical response and remains a notable entry in Coppola’s body of work.
“What made the event unique was Dawn’s research and knowledge about the film, the production, and the directors/producers… If you’re looking for a new idea for date night, Domaine Lumineux takes movie night to the next level.”
