Merrily We Roll Along - DVD

Hospice patient Samira (Lupita Nyong'o) wearily agreed to join a group outing to Manhattan for a show and a slice. She couldn't have anticipated that the city would become the nexus of an extraterrestrial attack by sightless, sound-sensitive ravagers-or that she'd be thrown together with Brit law student Eric (Joseph Quinn) for a wholly different kind of fight for survival. Stunning prequel entry for the fear franchise from director Michael Sarnoski (InchPigInch) also stars Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Spanning two decades, Merrily We Roll Along traces the complex, often heartbreaking unravelling of a once-unbreakable friendship between composer Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff) and his two closest friends playwright-lyricist Charley (Daniel Radcliffe) and writer Mary (Lindsay Mendez). But this is no ordinary story. Told in reverse, the film winds backwards through time, beginning in fractured adulthood and journeying back to the bright-eyed optimism of youth when everything still seemed possible. Long considered a cult classic ahead of it's time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim's most personal and piercing songs. Now, in a bold new cinematic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning musical, the film invites audiences into the heart of the story not just watching it unfold but inhabiting it. Shot with intimacy and immediacy, it places viewers on stage and inside the action, offering a deeply immersive experience that reveals the emotional truth of the piece in a way no theatre seat ever could.
