The Women on the 6th Floor(2011) M - Mild sexual references, nudity and coarse language 106 mins, France French with English subtitles A stellar cast serves up a delicious upstairs/downstairs comedy in Philippe Le Guay’s international sleeper hit. It’s Paris, 1960. The marvellous Fabrice Luchini (Potiche) stars as wealthy stockbroker Jean-Louis Joubert, who lives a staid bourgeois existence with his perfectly-presented socialite wife (Sandrine Kiberlain). But when the family’s maid abandons them, into the residence comes Maria (Natalia Verbeke): young, hardworking, and – quelle horreur – Spanish! Paris, années 60. Jean-Louis Joubert, agent de change rigoureux et père de famille « coincé », découvre qu’une joyeuse cohorte de bonnes espagnoles vit... au sixième étage de son immeuble bourgeois. Endearing, sweet-natured and celebratory. These livewire señoras would bring out the best in anybody." |
Friday 10 November - doors open at 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start at Central Hawkes Bay Municipal Theatre. We have documentary this time.
Food: Sijo Food Truck will be there serving up Asian Street Food. Film: L'Ame du vin - The Soul of Wine (2019) Documentary Wine is birthed from the encounter between land, sky, and Man.
