Center Aisle Cinema

We recently added Guilty Pleasures to the DBRL collection. We showed the film back in July for Center Aisle Cinema, and it also played on the PBS series POV this summer as well. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

Every four seconds a romance novel published by Harlequin or its British counterpart, Mills and Boon, is sold somewhere. Guilty Pleasures takes an amusing and touching look at this global phenomenon. Ironies abound in the contrasts between the everyday lives of the books’ readers and the fantasy worlds that offer them escape. Guilty Pleasures portrays five romance devotees who must, ultimately, find their dreams in the real world.

Check out the film trailer or the official film site for more info.
