The New Year starts with a showing on Friday, January 8th of Noel Coward's romantic comedy "Easy Virtue" transposed for the screen, and starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Jessica Biel, and Colin Firth.
Between the war years, the Whittaker's estate is sinking, with only the iron will of Mrs. Whittaker staving off bankruptcy, while she awaits her son John's return from the continent.
To her dismay he brings a bride, an American widow who races cars, and very soon it's all-out war between the bride and the mother, but she has a plan!
January 23rd, this time at 7:30pm only, it is a trip to the opera to see Bizet's "Carmen", starring Placido Domingo and Julia Migenes, billed as the sexiest Carmen ever seen.
All the passion and spectacle of Carmen comes to life in this film shot entirely in Andalusian Spain, and tells the story of the lusty, but tempestuous girl who seduces a naïve Army corporal, Don Jose, and who abandons his career, his fiancée, and even his dying mother for the love of the sultry gypsy.
But she soon spurns him for the love of a toreador, Escamillo, despite Jose begging her to return to him.
Great music that everyone recognises.
February 24th, and two showings of "Young Victoria" starring Emily Blunt and directed by Martin Scorsese.
A captivating love story meticulously crafted, and a thrilling tale of a sheltered young woman thrust into extremely difficult situations she must overcome, and chronicling her romance and marriage to Prince Albert.
