- What can a decades-old rom-com/fantasy film about a rodent teach us about human moral development? Come for the laughs, stay for a discussion of this timeless mid-winter feast for the mind and heart, which legendary film theorist Stanley Cavell said would still be "cherished" 100 years after its inception. Together, we will view Groundhog Day, consider its deeper meaning, and dwell cozily in the details that add up to its transformative impact on its characters and audience alike.
