SLIFF 2019 – The St. Louis International Film Festival Kicks Off November 7th with Noah Baumbach’s MARRIAGE STORY

This year’s St. Louis International Film Festival kicks off one week from tonight! This year, SLIFF will open the fest November 7th at at The Tivoli (6350 Delmar Blvd) with a screening of Noah Baumbach’s MARRIAGE STORY starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. The film starts at 8pm and there will be an opening night reception that starts at 6:30. Tickets can be purchased HERE. A Facebook invite for the event can be found HERE.

SLIFF opens with one of the year’s most critically lauded films, “Marriage Story,” a dramedy from Oscar-nominated writer-director Noah Baumbach (“The Squid and the Whale,” “Frances Ha”) that offers an incisive and compassionate look at a marriage breaking up and a family staying together. The film features Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver (who also stars in “The Report” at this year’s SLIFF) as the central couple, and the deep cast includes Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta. Toronto’s Globe & Mail, which hails “Marriage Story” as “a completely absorbing and devastating portrait of modern desire and responsibility,” writes: “Baumbach’s film will have you cycling through all manner of convulsions. This is hilarious, heartbreaking cinema — a work that will make you burst out laughing one moment, and leave you tearing your hair out the next.”
