The film being screened this month(Saturday 28th February) is The Visitor from the director of The Station Agent and the producer of Sideways. Both these films were hugely popular with film club members, so expectations are high. In the film, a widowed college professor travels to New York City to attend a conference and returns to find a young couple, who turn out to be illegal immigrants, living in his apartment. Their developing relationship provides a fascinating, uplifting and entertaining experience.
The Visitor, which was featured last week on BBC’s Film 2009 as one of the few truly independent films to gain a commercial cinema release last year, has had excellent reviews and won plaudits at many of the major international film festivals.
