Cinema Salon is a monthly program sponsored by the Iowa City Senior Center that invites Center members and other movie lovers to view a new film at FilmScene on the second Thursday of each month, followed by a 30-minute discussion facilitated by Lynn Puritz-Fine. Films are announced about two weeks in advance. In this week's film,You Hurt My Feelings, Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a popular writer, and her husband Don, a well-liked teacher, share the kind of relationship that seems too good to be true. But in they're actually and truly in love. Even after decades of marriage, parenting, and their own successful careers, their physical spark has somehow not diminished; in fact, they seem to relish the opportunity to share a single ice cream cone and drive others -- including their son, Charlie – mad. Should it come as a surprise then that Charlie’s own marriage is in crisis? But when Beth discovers that Don has been untruthful to her about his opinion of her work for years -- Beth's world comes crashing down. Has their whole relationship been one Big Fat Lie? Watch the trailer.
