Our Next Presentation:  COLD WAR

THE CRAMPHORN THEATRE, CHELMSFORD – Monday 7TH October @ 8PM

-1968Days -15Hours -9Minutes -48Seconds

Set against the backdrop of the 1950s Cold War, Pawlikowski’s love letter to his parents has been described as a near-perfect film, artfully crafted and flawlessly acted. Two people from differing backgrounds begin an almost impossible romance. For a black-and-white film with such an unsparing, unsentimental approach, it manages to feel lush, passionate and stark all at once. (Read more…)

Audience feedback for “Shoplifters’

Following 2016’s After the Storm and 2017’s Third Murder (not shown by the Film Club), “Shoplifters” marks a return to Kore-eda’s studies of Japanese Family values, and was a worthy winner of Cannes 2018 Palme d’Or. Several responses (including mine) have commented on the way the story completely turned in on itself, shattering the illusion of a strong ‘Family’ bond that had been built up in the first hour.

Always a popular choice among Film Club members, this is the first of two of Kore-eda films being shown this season (following the restoration by the BFI of his first 4 films, we have taken the opportunity to also screen Maborosi, his 1995 directorial debut)
