PARADISE presents HEARTBURN

“My marriage to him was as willful an act as I have ever committed; I married him against all the evidence. I married him believing that marriage doesn't work, that love dies, that passion fades, and in so doing I became the kind of romantic only a cynic is truly capable of being.”

-Nora Ephron, Heartburn

THIS JUNE: We’re starting the summer with an equal dose of heartache and hilarity as we celebrate the cynicism at the heart of all romance. Join us as we laugh our way through love lost with seven rom-coms in reverse! The Paradise Presents: BREAKING UP… (is hard to do).

SEX. LOVE. MARRIAGE. SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT. On Monday June 10th, we're screening two scorching films ripped from Hollywood gossip headlines and soaked in acid. Starting at 6 PM as we present Mike Nichols' adaptation of Nora Ephron's seminal memoir, detailing the disintegration of her marriage to famed journalist Carl Bernstein. Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson star in HEARTBURN.

Rachel Samstat (Meryl Streep), a New York food critic, beds Mark Forman (Jack Nicholson), a Washington, D.C., newspaper columnist. The two fall in love, and Rachel relinquishes her job and relocates to be with a man who views himself as unfit for marriage. They try to build a life together -- literally -- as they struggle with the construction crews renovating their home. When Rachel gets pregnant, Mark is enthusiastic, but then soon begins doubting whether he could be a family man.
