M Offensive language, 100 mins, France French with English subtitles Anne Walberg is a celebrity in the perfume world. She creates fragrances and sells her incredible talent to companies of all kinds. She lives as a diva, selfish, well-tempered. Guillaume is her new driver and the only one who is not afraid to stand up to her. No doubt this is the reason why she does not fire him. |

Friday 17 February is when we will be holding our first 2023 film evening in Central Hawkes Bay. We have chosen a summer themed film.
A l'abordage - All Aboard (2021)An unlikely oddball trio bond during an impromptu trip to the French countryside on a foolhardy romantic mission. Un trio improbable part en voyage improvisé dans la campagne française pour une mission romantique imprudente. Once again suggested $10 koha with any profits going to the Food Basket CHB. A mix of Indonesian & kiwi cuisine will be our Food Truck so you can buy dinner! No pre-ordering required! The truck will sell food before the film and during the intermission. |
"This beguiling little charmer of a film is not so much about big romantic gestures, but rather the small, delicately observed moments of connection." - Screen International
Food Truck: Indolicious |
