The Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB is proud to present a free screening of episode 51 of the groundbreaking TV series, The Sopranos, featuring a post-screening discussion with director James Hayman. Join us for this special event Thursday, Jan. 19 at 7 PM at the Pollock Theater at UCSB.
David Chase’s The Sopranos follows James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano: husband, father, and mob boss. Across six seasons, Tony is torn between the competing demands of his nuclear family and his mob family, throwing his masculinity into crisis. In episode 51, directed by UCSB alumnus James Hayman, the series’ focus shifts from Tony to his wife Carmela (Edie Falco) and her evolving relationship with her adult daughter Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler). Here, Carmela’s disappointment with her life and her future prospects becomes palpable, as she comes to understand that her daughter will have a future that is entirely foreclosed to her.
Director James Hayman will join moderator Patrice Petro (Dick Wolf Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center) for a post-screening discussion of the “Eloise” episode of The Sopranos (season 4, episode 12) and the series’ enduring legacy.
