Saturday February 17th – “THE GREAT ESCAPER” (12A)
The last film of Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. In 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines as he staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans in Normandy, commemorating the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. Bernie’s 48-hour adventure also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson). A story that captured the imagination of the world, as Bernie embodied the defiant “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing – an inspirational retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war.
“A moving and surprisingly nuanced drama, offering far more than flag-waving nostalgia” – Empire.

Saturday March 2nd – “BROKER” (12)
A superb comedy-drama from Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda  (Shoplifters, Like Father Like Son, Our Little Sister) set in South Korea. On a rainy night in Busan, So-Young leaves her baby outside a ‘baby box’, a safe place set up in Korean churches for new mothers to leave unwanted infants. Instead, he’s picked up by Sang-Hyun, who runs an unofficial ‘adoption brokerage’ and plans to find him a new home. So-Young tracks down both Sang-Hyun and his business partner, and decides to join their pursuit – unaware they’re being tailed by two detectives who are determined to stop them. Korean language, English subtitles
“A very poignant and sweet and engaging film from start to finish” – IMDb
