The theme this season is the ‘The Cinema of Resistance’.

Le Dernier Métro (The Last Metro) is a 1980 drama written and directed by François Truffaut, and starring Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu.

The film is set during the time of the French occupation. It demonstrates passive resistance through culture in the story of a small Parisian theatre surviving censorship, anti semitism and material shortages to emerge triumphant at the war’s end.

The film won ten Césars for: best film, best actor (Depardieu), best actress (Deneuve), best cinematography, best director (Truffaut), best editing, best music, best production design, best sound and best writing. It received Best Foreign Film nominations in the Academy Awards and Golden Globes.

A themed talk from Jon Davies will precede the screening.

Doors open at 14.00, for a 14.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
