American Hustle (M) at the James this Sunday

american_hustle_125American Hustle (M) is coming to the James at 7pm on Sunday May 18. Described as “riotously funny and impeccably cast”, it is a chaotic story of a con-couple found out and forced to work for the FBI, loosely based on a real life 1970’s scandal. The film  is richly evocative, bathing in the excesses of the power, the money and the high-life in New Jersey in 1978. Starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner and lots of 1970’s hair, clothes and sunglasses.
