Coppola Movie Nights
Coppola movie nights
Art takes many forms, and whether it’s through film or wine, it has the power to bring us together.
On select Friday evenings, Coppola Movie Nights at Domaine Lumineux bring together two sides of the Coppola family story: wine and cinema. Settle into our intimate screening room with a glass in hand for memorable films, unexpected favorites. Most evenings follow our traditional Movie Night format, while select Culinary Cut screenings take the experience further with multi-course dinners designed to unfold alongside the film.
The Rainmaker
November 13, Doors open at 5:30pm
The Rainmaker (1997) is Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of John Grisham’s bestselling legal thriller.
Matt Damon stars as Rudy Baylor, a young attorney who takes on a powerful insurance company after it denies coverage for a critically ill man. What begins as one family’s fight quickly becomes a much larger battle over greed, power, and who gets heard when the odds are stacked against them.
The film pairs Damon with an ensemble cast including Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Mickey Rourke, and Danny Glover, balancing courtroom drama with sharp humor and a strong human story.
With its impressive cast, high-stakes courtroom battle, and distinctly human focus, The Rainmaker remains a compelling entry in Coppola’s filmography.
Priscilla
November 20, Doors open at 5:30pm
Priscilla (2023), written and directed by Sofia Coppola, brings another generation of the Coppola family behind the camera.
Based on Priscilla Presley’s memoir Elvis and Me, the film tells the story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley from her perspective, beginning with their first meeting in Germany and following their courtship, marriage, and life at Graceland.
Cailee Spaeny stars as Priscilla opposite Jacob Elordi as Elvis, with the film looking beyond the public mythology to explore the private world of their relationship and the complicated realities of love, fame, and growing up in someone else’s orbit.
Spaeny’s performance earned her the Best Actress award at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, where the film premiered in competition.
It’s a Wonderful Life
December 18, Doors open at 5:30pm
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) joins the Coppola Movie Nights lineup as a personal holiday favorite of Francis Ford Coppola.
Directed by Frank Capra and starring James Stewart, the film has become one of the most beloved holiday classics in American cinema, returning generation after generation to its themes of family, community, sacrifice, and the value of an ordinary life.
For many, it’s a film already tied to holiday tradition. Our December screening is a chance to revisit it on the big screen, with a glass of wine in hand and good company around you.
A fitting way to close out our 2026 season of Coppola Movie Nights.
