Empire of Light
Sam Mendes · 2022
The Empire gives Hilary and her co-workers a place to belong. Stephen tells her to see a film in the cinema, which she has never done, and the staff look after one another through hard times. The film suggests that sitting in the dark together can heal.
Where to see it: The film request: After Stephen's recovery, Hilary asks the projectionist Norman to play any movie for her, and he picks Being There.
