If you can juggle your evening plans around to catch Fina Torres’ new film tonight at OUT at the Movies (7 p.m. at the ACE Theatre Complex at the UNCSA campus), you won’t be disappointed.

Torres has adapted Jane Chambers’ classic play Last Summer at Blueflish Cove and set the story in the Carribbean. The lush locations make me yearn for an endless summer retreat, but it’s the love story that really sells the picture.

Chambers’ play brought a lesbian story to a “mainstream” audience in 1980, and the updates to the storyline and the skillfulness of visual storytelling make Liz in September resonate powerfully with viewers.
