DIE HANDELSHUIS INVITES YOU TO JOIN US FOR DINNER & AN EXTRAORDINARY & VISIONARY MOVIE ABOUT BRIAN WILSON OF THE BEACH BOYS. Love & mercy Weds 7 th Sept 6.30 for 7pm. An absolutely delicious Moroccan lamb meatball stew with Moroccan flatbread will be served for R60 and a dessert of Chilled lemon soufflé for R17. We are fully licensed. If you require a vegetarian meal please let me know when booking. Booking is essential by Mon 5 th Phone 044-2133172 sms 071-6880926 or email gayelewin@absamail.co.za In the 1960s, Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson struggles with emerging psychosis as he attempts to craft his avantgarde pop masterpiece. In the 1980s, he is a broken, confused man under the 24-hour watch of shady therapist Dr. Eugene Landy. You definitely don t have to be a Beach Boys fan to enjoy love & mercy. Starring John Cusack as the older Brian and with a superb performance by Paul Dano as the younger Brian Wilson, this is a fascinating look at the musical genius of Brian Wilson, the creative soul of the Beach Boys, and the heavy price he paid for his talent. During his peak artistic years in the 1960s his inner demons, obsessions and an abusive father drive him to a mental breakdown that would plague him for years. In the 1980s, with Brian barely functional under the domination of the unscrupulous and terrifying Dr. Landy (Paul Giametti), Brian meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter. As their relationship grows, she observes Brian's crippling subservience to the abusive psychotherapist with growing alarm. Ultimately, she must take action with a love willing to stand up to oppression she cannot ignore.
