Film Discussion: The Christophers

*The Christophers is a 2025 British, black-comedy film directed by Steven Soderbergh. It stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. "McKellen’s sparkling performance, an expert and energetic blend of foxy charm and casual cruelty, is what truly sets the film humming. For a film about approaching death, and the sudden, devastating loss of talent that may precede it, it’s a surprisingly sparky movie – one that exudes warmth and life.” “It’s a fascinating study of power and productivity, masters and muses.” [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_christophers](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_christophers) You should watch the movie on your own sometime before the meeting. It can be streamed from Kanopy (the free library streaming service), Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango, Plex, and possibly elsewhere. \~Evie*
