Julieta - Sunday 27th November 5pm

A new film by Pedro Almodóvar must be a highlight for any season. I watched the trailer in Spanish (which I don't speak) and the pictures were ravishing. We, however, will see Julieta with the usual subtitles. The film won best director at Cannes this year. It's based on three Alice Munro short stories and tells of a mother's search for her estranged daughter Antía and all that goes before it with Julieta played by two actors at different stages of her life. It's been suggested as most reminiscent of Almodóvar's Volver.  So we continue a season filled with our F (for female) rated films.
