Hi Cliff

Despite sounding fabulously theatrical this film does not currently have a UK release so no plans to screen it at the mo. You can all come and stand at the bar with a distant look in your eyes anytime though!

Hee hee!  That was a very funny remark :)

Talking of French films, I was just wondering if the Duke's management
were thinking of getting La Femme de Gilles.  I've just come across it
on a blog. http://www.portifex.com/DailyBlague/


"Then I watched a movie - it was by now after dark. I watched La femme
de Gilles, by Frédéric Fonteyne. It stars Emmanuelle Devos, an actor
whom I've been following ever since seeing her in De battre mon coeur
s'est arrêté. She plays Elisa, the wife of a factory worker in the
north of France in the Thirties. Her husband (Clovis Corvillac)
conceives a passion for her sister, Victorine (Laura Smet), and when
he confirms his wife's suspicions, she resolves to wait out the
passion. She assures him that it will end, and it does. But whether
she foresees what will follow - what Gilles will feel after he loses
interest in Victorine - is the question that haunts the movie. All
I'll say is that if the movie ended a minute or two earlier, I could
show it to Kathleen. But I recommend it highly to anyone who can take
a strong French film, beautifully made."

Sounds right up my street that. Paul could come and snap some more
cigarettes off afterwards, with a distant look in his eyes as he
sipped his fifth absinthe.  Reza could ring in at the last moment to
apologise because he had to do the tickets for an indie band from
Denmark who were playing in Morecambe library.  It'd be a cracking night!
