Dear film friends

On 10 March we will be screening a film which was shown a few years ago: La fille du puisatier, the story of an unmarried young mother by Marcel Pagnol. This is a remake by Daniel Autheuil, who also stars in the role of the father. It is also Autheuil who directed the 2 remakes of the Marseille Trilogy which you have already seen, Marius and Fanny. In April we will be showing the last film in the trilogy, César, in the classic black and white version with Raimu in the role of César. So, two Pagnol movies in a row. A mini festival!

Hereby a short clip from the movie : YouTube

Dear Film Friends,

This is a gentle reminder that our French movie club starts on 11 February with a film to celebrate the last days of summer: Le grand bain, translated as Sink or swim in the English version. This is a feel-good movie especially for men, who do not always get good press. The results are plain to see: these 40-somethings are having an early mid-life crisis and are trying to work through it in the swimming pool. This is not, however, a movie about men working out in a gym. (How interesting would that be?!) It’s about Ordinary Men, ordinary people, with ordinary bodies and aspirations. And it may just be one of the most inspiring movies you will see in 2020.

Please bring your (male) friends!
