Catch This: Looking For Eric at NWFF

Summer officially ended during my soggy bike ride into work yesterday. All the more reason to watch a film that warms the heart and makes you forget about fifty degree weather.

The 2009 British film Looking for Eric, currently playing at the Northwest Film Forum, does just that. The story follows postal worker Eric Bishop, whose life is in shambles until he receives help from the man he looks up to most: soccer player (or, footballer) Eric Cantona of the Manchester United team.

The film was well-received at Cannes and by critics, denoted as a "crowd-pleaser." It's showing tonight at 7:00pm and 9:00pm, with two final showings tomorrow night as well.
