Sat 10th April - Looking For Eric
Ken Loach is not generally described as an all-round crowd-pleaser, but with his latest film, Looking For Eric, he’s produced a masterpiece. It tells the story of a depressed, dysfunctional postman with a problematic family that threatens to drag him into even deeper waters. An apparition in the form of 90’s cult French footballer Eric Cantona proves to be the emotional lift to get his life back on track. A heady mix of high comedy, gritty realism, and the nonlinear philosophy of Eric Cantona, this film is an offbeat, clever and moving piece of cinema. Funny, touching and unlikely in every sense, this is among Loach's most enjoyable films.Looking for Eric will be screened on Saturday 10th April in Broughton Hall. Doors open at 7:30pm, shorts at about 8pm, main film at 8:15pm. Guests welcome.
SUNDAY 7th March
Rural Wales is the setting for Sleep Furiously, showing on 7th March.
Quietly observing the inhabitants of the sleepy hamlet of Trefeurig, the film builds a poetic picture not only of what stands to be lost through thoughtless modernisation, but how rapidly whole ways of life are being eroded. The film has received almost universal critical acclaim being
called “entertaining and lovely", "quiet, off-beat, tender poetry", “unusually tender and eccentric” and “the most beautifully elemental documentary film to have emerged in Britain in over a decade”.

Guys & Dolls
The Christmas film, Guys and Dolls will be shown tonight. Please note the earlier than usual start time of 7:30pm.
Decemcer Film - Loved You So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime) (12A)
Léa (Elsa Zylberstein) and Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) are sisters. The film begins with Léa, the younger sister by 15 years, picking Juliette up at the airport. We soon realise that the two sisters are almost complete strangers to each other. Juliette has just been released from prison after serving a long sentence.
A fine-tuned psychological insight, walking-on-eggs narrative finesse and a devastating, career-best performance by Kristin Scott Thomas make I’ve Loved You So Long a more than impressive achievement by debut director Philippe Claudel. This is a topof-the-range family melodrama sparingly told and austerely framed, Claudel’s tale of guilt, grief and redemption will have viewers thinking deep and long.
110 minutes, dir. Philippe Claudel,
released 2008.
December 5th at Broughton Hall. 7:45 pm
November Film - Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Love, pain and the tricky workings of the human heart are all familiar subjects for Woody Allen but the move to Spain has put an extra spring in his step. Friends Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) are Americans who have decided to spend the summer in Barcelona.
Cristina is a free spirit open to any possibility. Vicky is sensible, cautious and soon to be married. Then the duo meet Spanish painter Antonio (Javier Bardem),
a silver-tongued charmer who immediately invites them to join him for a romantic weekend. The temptation to accept is irresistible.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona is pure pleasure and finds Allen back on top form. It is smart, sunny, frisky and extremely funny.
96 minutes, dir. Woody Allen, released 2008.
Sunday 8th Nov. Broughton Hall
