PARADISE presents MERMAIDS
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.
MOM IS MANY THINGS ... NORMAL ISN'T ONE OF THEM. We start our series in 1990 by way of 1963 for one of the last great performances in Cher's film career. Richard Benjamin's MERMAIDS is a heartfelt portrait of the Flax family- single mother Rachel, and her two young daughters Charlotte and Kate- played to perfection by Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci. Cher brings her singular charisma to the film in her star turn as Rachel Flax, and a glorious cover of the "Shoop Shoop Song" to the soundtrack.
Fifteen-year-old Charlotte Flax (Winona Ryder) is tired of her wacky mom (Cher) moving their family to a different town any time she feels it is necessary. When they move to a small Massachusetts town and Mrs. Flax begins dating a shopkeeper (Bob Hoskins), Charlotte and her 9-year-old sister, Kate (Christina Ricci), hope that they can finally settle down. But when Charlotte's attraction to an older man gets in the way, the family must learn to accept each other for who they truly are.
