DESCRIPTION:In honor of Banned Books week\, the annual event to celebrate t
 he freedom to read and raise awareness of censorship issues\, the Cosford 
 Cinema will hold screenings of film adaptations of books on the list every
  Friday evening in October.\n\n \n\nTHE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER | 2012
  | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Stephen Chbosky | BASED ON THE NOVEL BY: Stephen Chbos
 ky | WITH: Logan Lerman\, Emma Watson\, Ezra Miller\, Paul Rudd\, Dylan Mc
 Dermott\, Kate Walsh | RUNNING TIME: 1H 43M | RATED PG-13 for mature thema
 tic material\, drug and alcohol use\, sexual content.\n\n \n\n15-year-old 
 Charlie (Logan Lerman)\, an endearing and naive outsider\, coping with fir
 st love (Emma Watson)\, the suicide of his best friend\, and his own menta
 l illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs.
  The introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors\, Sam and 
 Patrick\, who welcome him to the real world.\n\n \n\n \n\n"Has there ever 
 been a time when you were among friends and felt as if you truly belonged\
 , yet were aware at the same instant that the joy was fleeting and you’d
  soon be alone—and that the pain of loss would be almost as intense as t
 he bliss? That’s the feeling Stephen Chbosky captures in "The Perks of B
 eing a Wallflower\," his exquisite adaptation of his best-selling YA novel
  about a Pittsburgh high-school freshman who doesn’t fit in and then all
  of a sudden does\, for a spell.\n\n \n\n"Set in the early 1990s\, the mov
 ie lingers on objects that are\, culturally speaking\, on their last legs:
  45-rpm singles\, manual typewriters\, mix tapes passed from boys to the g
 irls they want to reach. It’s nostalgia with an emphasis on nostos\, pai
 n. My favorite shot: Charlie leaving the wall at the homecoming dance and 
 moving toward Sam\, head bobbing as if to propel himself forward as Dexys 
 Midnight Runners’ “Come On\, Eileen” begins to accelerate. The music
  is from so long ago\, the feeling of transcendence eternal." -- David Ede
 lstein\, New York Magazine\n\n \n\nAdmission is FREE but registration requ
