Northbrook Public Library

Zoom Room 2 - Fiction & Media

Watch at home. Talk at library.

Please join us for a discussion of the film The 100-Year-Old Man (2013, Rated R).

Powered by the antics of a mischievous centenarian on the run, comic fable THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED abounds with irreverent charm.

After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya.

The discussion will be held live online using Zoom. Once you have registered, please check your email for a link.

You will need to watch the film before the Zoom discussion. 

You will need a participating library card to access this film online:
