The twelve year relationship and marriage of a young couple: the love, the excitement, the boredom, the turbulences, all mixed-up in flashbacks, jump-cuts and flash-forwards. The mosaic of a powerful, emotional and tumultuous relationship, under the summer European sun. Our final screening for this season (no film in August) is an incredibly stylish, sexy and revolutionary in technique for its time, film directed by Stanley Donen, featuring the absolutely stunning music score by Henry Mancini and starring the forever glamorous Audrey Hepburn and the incredibly talented (and gorgeous!) Albert Finney. A 60s classic, a beautifully summery film, not to be missed!
Where: The Grove Centre, 2 Jews Walk, Sydenham SE26 6PL When: 7.30pm Thursday 27th July Tickets: £5 on the door
“…a clear-eyed, openhearted, and ultimately open-ended portrait of a marriage.(…) Put together, the pieces make up a shared life. They might even make up love.” Keith Phipps, AV Club

This is a really good film, I saw it at a the BFI festival a little while ago.
