‘Whitney’ opens Aug. 3 at Cinema Art Theater in Lewes
Starting Friday, Aug. 3, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “Whitney,” a fascinating story which gets to the complicated truth about a very famous singer.
Whitney Houston broke more music industry records than any other female singer in history. With over 200 million album sales worldwide, she was the only artist to chart seven consecutive U.S. No.1 singles. She also starred in several blockbuster movies before her brilliant career gave way to erratic behavior, scandals, and death at age 48. This documentary is an intimate, unflinching portrait of Houston and her family that probes beyond familiar tabloid headlines and sheds new light on the spellbinding trajectory of Houston’s life. Using never-before-seen archival footage, exclusive demo recordings, rare performances, audio archives and original interviews with the people who knew her best, Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin MacDonald unravels the mystery behind “The Voice” who thrilled millions even as she struggled to make peace with her own troubled past.
Screening times are 4 p.m., Friday, Aug. 3; 7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 4; 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 5; 4 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 8; and 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 9.
