The bizarre and shocking truth would eventually be discovered: Walter’s works were actually not created by him at all\, but by his wife Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes\, it seemed\, had been living a colossal lie that had fooled the entire world. \n\n  \n\n A tale too incredible to be fiction\, Big Eyes centers on Margaret’s awakening as an artist\, the phenomenal success of her paintings\, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband\, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.  \n\n Big Eyes is in New Zealand cinemas on January 29 2015. \n\n  \n\n For the trailer and further information on the film please visit https://bigeyesfilm.com\n\n  \n\n\n\n rsvp’s essential : \n\n mailto:victoria@bluecatpictures.com.au\n\n or\n\n mailto:celia@bluecatpictures.com.au\n\n RSVPS ARE NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH VES\n \n  \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://vesglobal.org/event/screening-big-eyes-wellington-new-zealand/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vesglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/bigeyes.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150104T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150104T190000 DTSTAMP:20260405T133524 CREATED:20150103T020408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150103T020408Z UID:10006886-1420372800-1420398000@vesglobal.org SUMMARY:Screenings - LAIKA Retrospective CORALINE\, PARANORMAN & THE BOXTROLLS in 3D (Los Angeles) DESCRIPTION:VES Members and Their Families are Invited to Attend 3D Screenings of Focus Features’ and LAIKA’s CORALINE\, PARANORMAN and THE BOXTROLLS followed by a Q&A with THE BOXTROLLS filmmakers and special guests. \nSunday\, January 4\, 2015 \nCORALINE at 12:00PM – Click here to RSVP \nPARANORMAN at 2:00PM – Click here to RSVP \nTHE BOXTROLLS at 4:00PM plus Q&A – Click here to RSVP \nPacific Design Center Silver Screen Theater\n 8687 Melrose Ave.\, West Hollywood\, CA 90069\n (Parking and admission are free.)\n Click here for a map.
