Buddy at Gables Cinema
Coral Gables Art CinemaWednesday, May 1, 2019 - 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Avenue
Heddy Honigmann's latest opus -- an exquisite portrait of the lives of six service dogs and their owners -- blossoms into a poignant exploration of the love affair between mankind and its best friend. To be sure, the pooches do amazing things (best seen to be believed), but it’s Ms. Honigmann’s warm sensitivity as an interviewer that earns her the trust of her four-legged subjects and their two-legged co-stars alike. This quality makes Buddy the rarest of finds, not just another shaggy dog story, but a heartwarming crowd pleaser from a great humanist filmmaker. More information
