Summer Hours (L’heure d’été) (2008)

They are left to reconcile their differences and come to terms with their shared memories, background and childhood.
Adrienne is a successful designer in New York, Frédéric is an economist and university professor in Paris, and Jérémie is a dynamic businessman based in China.
An absorbing, beautifully photographed and moving film from a renowned director, Summer Hours features exceptional performances from Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier; and some extraordinary pieces from the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay.
“A warm and wise drama about the tensions and mysteries of family life” – Time Out.
“Deeply moving….deftly played and beautifully photographed” – Empire.

The next film will be Sunday 27th November – Cycling with Molière
A once great actor, Serge Tanneur (Fabrice Luchini), has retired from the limelight. Too much pressure meant that one day, he simply decided he would act no more. For the past three years, he has lived in solitude on the Île de Ré, spending his time cycling through the windswept landscape. Fellow actor Gauthier Valence (Lambert Wilson), whose career is flying high, is planning a production of Molière's play The Misanthrope and wants to offer Serge the role of Filinte. Gauthier is convinced he will accept, since Serge himself has become a misanthrope, withdrawn from society and raging against the world. It would be wonderful to see him return in that part. But Serge plays hard to get.

Hope to see you at a film night soon.
