Cinema
We have yet another fabulous film for this month (see below). Here’s an opportunity for folk to visit a cinema that’s right on their doorstep, and that’s real value-for-money.
Any and every opportunity for local audiences to get to know about them is much appreciated ….. “what’s on” and “local pages” especially.
Our films are shown on a large screen in informal and at-ease surroundings at the Town’s Birchmeadow Centre where you can enjoy a (free) cup of tea in the afternoons, or a wine or beer (sorry, this time it’s not free) in the evenings.
16 September - 2:30 - Love in the Time of Cholera
A chronicle which takes in the fifty-year period straddling the 19th and 20th centuries. We are privy to the feelings of the central character, Fiorentino Ariza. He cannot help staring at the lovely but shy Fermina Daza The film is framed by the accidental death from a fall out of a mango tree by the 80-year-old Dr. Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt), married for a half century to the 72-year-old Fermina Daza Visited on the day of the funeral by Florentino Ariza she is enraged at the gall of a man who professes his lifetime love for her, at which point director Newell flashes back to the early courtship and proceeds through some fifty-two years of their lives.
also on 16 September - 8:00 - Quand j’etais Chanteur (The Singer)
Alain Moreau sings for one of the few remaining dance-bands in Clermont-Ferrand. Though something of an idol amongst his female audience he has a melancholic awareness of the slow disappearance of that audience and of his advancing years. He is completely knocked off balance when he meets strikingly attractive and much younger businesswoman Marion. She seems distant and apparently otherwise involved but soon shows quiet signs of reciprocating his interest. A brief dalliance turns into something much more complicated and he starts to employ - indeed monopolise - her services as an estate agent by announcing he suddenly must move house
