About this event
"Tell me, do you believe in the survival of human personality after death?"
"I don't know, I'd never though about it, do you?"
"I don't know, I've thought about it too much."
THIS FEBRUARY- We're calling all Valentines to join us in Paradise for love stories that will take you to another dimension... The Paradise Presents: LOVE AFTER LIFE- six films that explore the existential matters of love beyond earthly existence.
NEITHER HEAVEN NOR EARTH COULD KEEP THEM APART! There is no better film to end our series than Powell and Pressburger's life affirming masterpiece- a case for the transcendent power of love. Join us on February 27th for the 1946 fantasy-epic A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
British Air Force pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) is on his way home to England from a World War II bombing mission in a badly damaged aircraft. Before he bails out of the plane into the ocean, he contacts June (Kim Hunter), an Allied radio operator with whom he shares what he believes to be his final moments on Earth. But Peter survives, finds June and they fall in love. A problem arises when a divine messenger (Marius Goring) arrives to escort Peter to heaven to rectify his wrongful survival.
