Thérèse - Sunday 22nd September 5pm

Our 15th year starts on Sunday with 'Thérèse', a beautiful French drama set in the 1920s. We started last year with a marriage of convenience between a princess and a king in 'A Royal Affair'; this year we have another marriage of convenience, this time between two large business owners, in 'Thérèse'.

Accepting of her fate to start with, Thérèse gets gradually weighed down by her life with her new husband and is unable to shake off thoughts of what might have been... Claude Miller's final film promises to be a visually beautiful creation, set among the trees in provincial France. On top of this we have an 'utterly mesmerising' performance (Trevor Johnston in the Radio Times) from Audrey Tatou (probably best known to most of us from 'Amelie') to look forward to.
