Friday February 3 – Julieta (2016 – 99 minutes) (Spanish dialogue/English sub-titles)
Julieta is the latest highly-acclaimed offering from Pedro Almodovar, Spain’s pre-eminent film director. It stars Emma Suarez as a middle-aged women living in Madrid with her boyfriend, Lorenzo. They are planning to move to Portugal when by chance she meets Bea, the former best friend of her missing daughter Antia, who vanished without trace 12 years earlier. Bea tells her Antia is living in Switzerland, married and with three children which leads Julieta to abandon plans to emigrate and she then moves back to her former building in the hope her daughter will one day make contact.
Friday March 3 – Chocolat (2016 – 119 minutes) (French dialogue/English sub-titles)
This is not a rerun of the 2001 Juliette Binoche film of the same title but the recent ‘Grand Succes’ to come out of France starring Omar Sy whom you may remember as the black carer hired by a quadraplegic in the film The Untouchables. Sy stars in the true story of Rafael Padilla, a former Cuban slave who finds unexpected success in Belle Epoque Paris as a circus clown. He teams up with George Footit, an English clown and acrobat and for a while all goes well, but his meteoric rise to fame and wealth cannot last as his world begins to crumble.
Friday April 7 – Easter Parade (1948 – 107 minutes)
For our Eastertime special offering what could be more appropriate than Easter Parade, a true classic MGM musical with the wonderful Fred Astaire and Judy Garland? I won’t spoil the story by revealing the plot but suffice to say you can be sure it will have a happy ending. Come and enjoy it on the big screen in Technicolor with full surround sound, and rumour has it that there just might be a free hot cross bun or two knocking around!
