Disclaimer up front: This particular book club is for members only. But maybe that’s the motivation you’ve been looking for to become a member of the recently revived video rental store, now a nonprofit event space and lending library celebrating all things film. Adaptations is a bimonthly book club that will surely spur lively discussion over which was better: the film or the book? This month it’s Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence, which can be purchased through We Luv’s bookshop.org page, and discussion will be preceded by a screening of the 1993 romance starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder.: – Kat McNevins

Adaptations Book Club

Ah, the eternal debate: Which was better, the book or the book of the film? Physical media defenders We Luv Video hope to settle this debate – or at least, keep it polite – with the Adaptations Book Club, where readers and film lovers hash out what makes it from the page to the screen. After coming together in perfect harmony for Pride & Prejudice, now the club picks up the debate over whether either of the big screen adaptations of The Stepford Wives – or the baffling sequels and spin-offs – matches Ira Levin’s acid satire. Grab a copy ahead of the night via bookshop.org/shop/weluvvideo to make sure you’re helping this movie-loving nonprofit. – Richard Whittaker

Keep it Sun-GAY at We Luv Video with a screening of the cosmically camp Vegas In Space. WLV describes the film thusly: "After rare gems in a distant women's-only planet go missing, a group of male soldiers must change sex to save the galaxy."

Vegas In Space (1991)

A graphic novel which sits beside Maus and American Born Chinese on the high shelf labeled “Important Drawn Biographical Tales,” Persepolis went from esteemed literature to film in 2007. Author Marjane Satrapi’s story of youthful rebellion, resilience in the face of oppression, and the teetering balance between loving and critiquing the culture you grew up in continues its relevance well into the 2020s. We Luv Video invites fans and new readers alike to join this discussion and watch party – with a special discount on the graphic novel if purchased through the Adaptations Book Club’s Bookshop.org page. – James Scott

Adaptations Book Club: Persepolis (2007)

Cine Las Americas has summoned a true legend of Mexican horror cinema. Writer/director Juan López Moctezuma’s 1977 supernatural horror Alucarda, la hija de las tinieblas (Alucarda, the Daughter of Darkness) stands as not only a febrile addition to the deliciously sleazy subgenre of nunsploitation, but also a devious and deviant adaptation of sapphic bloodsucker Carmilla. Now star Tina Romero will talk about this disturbing, entrancing underground classic in a Q&A at this special bilingual screening event. – Richard Whittaker
