Happy New Year everyone! We hope you have all enjoyed your Christmas, but, like us, you are looking forward to watching great World Cinema again…and We have some great films indeed lined up for 2024, with award winners and likely Oscar winners amongst films from all around the world… not to mention the Keswick Film Festival from 29 February to 3 March.
We start on 7 January at 5.00pm at the Alhambra cinema with the latest deadpan comedy from the great Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki – ‘Fallen Leaves’: A lovely tale of ‘almost-doomed’ romance. Ansa is sacked from her shelf-filling, supermarket job for taking home out-of-date food to give to the poor. Holoppa is sacked from his job in a scrapyard for drinking at work. All looks lost for both of them until they meet at an eclectic karaoke bar (!) and love beckons… but a lost address and even a charming stray dog still stand in their way…
We are hoping for some great evenings in a full Alhambra over the coming months. We are looking forward to seeing films again… and to seeing you! All are welcome. We hope these films will appeal to you; see you there!
