‘Burnt Orange Heresy’ to open at Cinema Art Theater Aug. 7

Starting Friday, Aug. 7, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Burnt Orange Heresy,” a thrilling drama about a man whose greed and ambition will cause him to do anything to further his career.

An opportunity strikes when he is contacted by wealthy art dealer Joseph Cassidy, played by Mick Jagger, who summons James to his villa on Lake Como and asks him to steal a painting from the legendary reclusive artist, Jerome Debney, played by Donald Sutherland. Soon, James’ finds himself caught in a web of his own making
