Future Programme

8-9 Mar	For information about our next film you should see the home page.
3-4 May	MATADOR, MEMBER'S CHOICE, Pedro Almodóvar, 1985, 106 mins. One of the director's earliest films (we saw his Talk to Her in 2006), a complex tale of an aspiring matador who attempts rape, confesses to murders that he did not commit ... and much more. Contains sex and violence, and is described as “screamingly funny”.
31 May - 1 Jun	COMRADES, Bill Douglas, GB, 1986, 183 mins. In the 1830s, deep in Dorset, poorly paid farm workers tried to form a union. We know them as the Tolpuddle Martyrs. This is their story, grippingly and sympathetically told.
28-29 Jun	LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, Alfonso Arau, Mex, 114 mins. Mexico, and revolution on quite a different scale. This film is about three sisters and their very different fates over a period of 40 years. It is also about food, sex and violence, not necessarily in that order.
26-27 Jul	THE DRESSER, Peter Yates, GB, 118 mins. Have you even heard of this? Albert Finney plays the imperious and impossible Shakespearian actor; Tom Courtenay, his dresser. TOFG: "An accomplished film ... animated by two gigantic performances."
23-24 Aug	to be announced
