One of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music follows a postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Maria brings a new love of life and music into the home while the changing world around them closes in.
A fictionalized version of the real von Trapp family, the film’s breathtaking photography and its many memorable songs, helped it to become an enduring classic. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, the film won five, including best picture and best director.
The Sound of Music screens in 35mm as part of our F*ck the Nazis (again!) repertory series.
