Bungay Film

Belated best wishes for the New Year to you all.

The film club has lined up four fantastic films to kick off 2016, but unfortunately there has been a change to our advertised programme.  PHOENIX will be screening this month on Monday 25 January in place of GEMMA BOVERY which will not be available in time.  GEMMA BOVERY will be shown instead on Monday 18 April.

In the meantime, Fisher Theatre Cinema presents the handsome 2015 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD at 7.30pm on Monday 18 January.  Carey Mulligan stars as the independent Bathsheba Everdeen whose hand is sought by many.  This engrossing period drama set in the West Country and directed by Thomas Vinterberg looks ravishing and features an excellent supporting cast led by Michael Sheen, Tom Sturridge and Matthias Schoenarts.   UK 2015.  119 minutes.  All seats £5.  Apologies, no reduction for film club members.

Monday 29 February 2016 at 7.30 pm:

45 YEARS (15).

Director: Andrew Haigh.  UK 2015.  95 minutes.

Starring: Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtenay and Geraldine James.

A perceptive British drama filmed in and around Norwich.  Kate and Geoff Mercer are preparing to celebrate their 45thwedding anniversary when Geoff receives unsettling news.  This portrait of a marriage haunted by a lost past showcases memorable performances from the two leads.  ‘Courtenay and Rampling are at the top of their game throughout, drawing us into their hopes and fears.’  The Observer.

Monday 14 March 2016 at 7.30 pm:

MARSHLAND (15).

Director: Alberto Rodriguez.  Spain 2014.  104 minutes.

Starring: Javier Gutierrez and Raul Arevalo.

An atmospheric detective drama set in the remote wetlands of Southern Spain.  In 1980, during Spain’s uneasy transition from fascism to democracy, two policemen are sent to an insular rural town to investigate the abduction of two sisters.  MARSHLAND keeps you on the edge of your seat right up until its final, haunting image.  ‘A taut, visually sumptuous and hugely entertaining thriller.’  Time Out.

GEMMA BOVERY

Monday 18 April 2016 at 7.30 pm:

GEMMA BOVERY (15).

Director: Anne Fontaine.  France/UK 2014.  99 minutes.  English and French with English subtitles.

Starring: Gemma Arterton, Fabrice Luchini and Niels Schneider.

A witty French adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ graphic novel.  Gemma imagines that her life will be transformed when she and her husband move to Normandy.  This attractive comedy is loosely based on the French classic, Madame Bovary, and features a typically elegant performance from Fabrice Luchini (IN THE HOUSE and POTICHE).  Little White Lies described the film as ‘a sly, smart, funny romp.’
