Our Next Presentation: L’AMANT DOUBLE
The Cramphorn Theatre, CHELMSFORD – TUESday 29th January @ 8PM
Receiving treatment from a psychologist, Paul, for psychosomatic aches and pains, Chloé falls for him. Living together, she discovers that Paul has an identical twin, Louis, also a therapist, the ‘double’ in the title. An inevitable affair develops. Dualities run through the film, with allusions to Hitchcock – the score and a Vertigo-style spiral staircase, and a debt to Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers.

Disaster strikes when curator Christian hires a public relations team to build some hype for his renowned Swedish museum. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Ostlund follows up Force Majeure (2014) with this edgy satire on the contemporary art world, male privilege and middleclass do-goodism. Lots of surreal, absurd humour as Christian’s image as a liberal paragon starts to crack. Fine performances, notably from Elizabeth Moss and Dominic West. 
only to discover that the film had not been received from the distributor. Despite the short notice we were able to screen an alternative (a film we had shown around 10 years ago, and for which the club still had the disc).
