The film is romantic period drama written and directed by Derek Cianfrance and based on the 2012 novel of the same name by M. L. Stedman. "The Light Between Oceans" tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who rescue and adopt an infant girl they find adrift at sea. Years later, the couple discovers the child's true parentage and is faced with the moral dilemma of their actions. The movie stars Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Rachel Weisz, Bryan Brown, and Jack Thompson.
Bernardsville Library's movie series is funded by gifts to the Friends of the Bernardsville Library. Future films in the Friday afternoon series range from documentaries to comedies to classics and drama and are be shown on the fourth Friday of the month at 2:00 pm. They are selected for cultural enrichment and for appeal to a wide variety of tastes and interests in the community. Ed English, a long-time filmmaker, heads the Friends' movie committee. Viewers are encouraged to linger after the films to discuss them. Books and other supporting materials are recommended during the discussions. Next month's movie will be François Truffaut's "Day for Night" on Friday, May 25 at 2:00 pm.
