Film 101: Cocoon

Our monthly film series, led by resident film expert, Jake Cohen, will feature a variety of international film styles, themes, and directors. Discussion will follow each film. Jake's selection for March is, Cocoon.

Oscar-winning fantasy in which the residents of a Florida rest home get a new lease of life when they stumble across an alien "fountain of youth" in a disused holiday home. Unbeknown to them, aliens have been using the swimming pool in the house to store their cocooned brethren, giving the waters a powerful, rejuvenating quality.
