Locals still figuring out plans for Valentine’s Day may consider The Neon’s romantic, French-themed Valentine’s Movie Date Night.

Two films will be offered at the downtown Dayton cinema on Wednesday, Feb. 14: Baz Luhrman’s 2001 Academy Award-winning musical “Moulin Rouge!” starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, and the new French period romance “The Taste of Things,” starring Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (”The English Patient”). “Moulin Rouge!” will screen at 7 p.m. and “The Taste of Things at 7:30 p.m.

The event will also include a cocktail hour featuring French wines from Joui and a délicieux Pâtisserie Bar from Dorothy Lane Market.

Valentine’s Movie Date Night is being sponsored by Brian Sharp of SharpGroup - Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Professional Realty. Sharp notably saw the extravagant, Tony Award-winning production of “Moulin Rouge!” on Broadway last fall.
