Spend six hours in the company of the Kings of Tampa as Courtney Sheehan peels back the layers of Gregory Jacobs’ sexy and spectacular comedy-drama. Come for the film craft and stay for the juicy behind-the-scenes stories Courtney has gathered from the director.

Soderbergh’s Magic Mike proved a surprisingly deft and engaging drama, but Gregory Jacobs’ follow-up, the aptly titled Magic Mike XXL, blew the roof off the joint. This highly entertaining sequel features uniformly excellent performances (both as actors in the film AND on the stage) but also delights with it’s effective cinematography, the pace of the edit, and the episodic build of the narrative. NWFF’s Courtney Sheehan leads our exploration of this under-appreciated gem and argues that it may just be the best film of 2015!

ABOUT CINEMA DISSECTION
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert’s annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six-hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out “Stop” and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film
