The legendary soundtrack featuring the homonymous song, the charming protagonists and Garry Marshall’s directorial gaze are just some of the ingredients of this film to be screened next week in Nicosia. The Bank of Cyrus Cultural Foundation, in collaboration with Lefkosiazo, introduces “Pretty Woman” as part of its summer cinema hosted at Faneromeni 17 Arts Festival.
An ambitious businessman has just arrived in Los Angeles for a business function. Trying to receive information about how to get there, he will accidentally meet a prostitute who is willing to help – though not without pay: Vivian doesn’t have the habit of doing anything for free. Bewildered by her impressive looks, Edward takes a step further and offers her to be his escort for the duration of the week he will spend in the city. He’s willing to pay everything it takes; or so he thinks… This is more or less the beginning of one of the greatest movie hits of all time and the highest-grossing romantic comedy ever. The film made Julia Roberts a super star, leading her straight to the Oscar nominations.
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Starring: Richard Gere, Julia Roberts etc.
*Open-air cinema screenings are co-organized with the "Lefkosiazo" volunteer group and the Municipality of Nicosia
