Ciné-Club at Event - May
Picture
****  "Spellbinding... A moving jewel of a film about memory, friendship and kin... Céline Sciamma’s beautiful fairytale reverie is occasioned by the dual mysteries of memory and the future: simple, elegant and very moving. An artistic masterstroke on Sciamma’s part. What a superb movie.” - The Guardian

Petite Maman (2021)
PG Mild Themes 113 mins, France
French with English subtitles

 In the wake of her grandmother’s death, eight-year-old Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) accompanies her distraught mother (Nina Meurisse) to her childhood home. There, Nelly’s encounter with another young girl (Gabrielle Sanz) brings mother and daughter together in a way neither could have ever imagined. Evoking childhood’s perpetual state of wonder through luminous, richly textured images, Petite Maman takes viewers on a journey inward for a quietly miraculous tale of emotional time travel." - Criterion Collection

French Friday Film & Food CHB

Friday 19 May is the altered date for our next film evening in Central Hawkes Bay. We have chosen a classic French film.
Milou en mai - May Fools (1990)
Comedy Drama
Madame Vieuzac has just passed away in her house in Southwestern France, far from the hue and cry of Paris in May, 1968. Her son, Milou, who has always lived with his mother, summons the rest of the family for the funeral...
​

Once again suggested $10 koha with any profits going to the Rural Trust East Coast. We are hoping to have  a Food Truck so you can buy dinner!

"Louis Malle's "May Fools" has a quality of mellow contentment. You feel in its images a sense of sunny embrace, a feeling of comfort and leisure and warm sensuality."  - Hal Hinson Washington Post
