PARADISE presents MASK
THIS DECEMBER: Tis the season for giving- and here at Paradise we are getting into the holiday spirit with a gift you have to see to BELIEVE! Join us this month for A VERY CHER CHRISTMAS- a four film tribute to the stunning screen work of one of our great cultural icons.
THEY TOLD 16 YEAR OLD ROCKY DENNIS HE COULD NEVER BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. SO HE WAS DETERMINED TO BE BETTER. Our last night of Cher kicks off at 5 PM with the inspiring true story of Roy "Rocky" Dennis, and his mother Florence "Rusty" Dennis in Peter Bogdanovich's 1985 drama MASK.
Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz) is an intelligent, outgoing and humorous teenager who suffers from a facial deformity called "lionitis" and has now outlived his life expectancy. While his mother, Rusty (Cher), struggles to fight for his acceptance in the public school system, he proves himself to be a highly accomplished student. Though Rocky endures ridicule for his appearance, he finds love and respect from his mother's biker gang family, and even experiences his first love.
