Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 19th July

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall Friday, 19th July, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

Anatomy Of A Fall (15)

Directed & Co-written by Justin Triet
Starring Sandra Hüller, Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado-Graner & Samuel Theis.
(Running time 2hrs 31mins)

An eerily riveting courtroom thriller that examines the line where truth becomes fiction and fiction becomes truth. When her husband Samuel is mysteriously found dead in the snow below their secluded chalet, Sandra becomes the main suspect, with their blind son facing a moral  dilemma as the sole witness, as the police begin to question whether he fell or was pushed  The trial soon becomes not just an investigation, but a gripping psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s complicated marriage.  With conflicting evidence and inconsistent testimony, words are wielded like weapons and shocking truths come to light in this thrilling Palme d’Or winner.

*PLEASE NOTE – DIALOGUE IS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND FRENCH (with subtitles)*

Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 21st June

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall Friday, 21st June, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

Wicked Little Letters (15)

Directed by Thea Sharrock
Starring Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Timothy Spall & Anjana Vasan.
(Running time 1hr 40mins)

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.  Based on a stranger than fiction true story, Wicked Little Letters follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley).  When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime.  The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women, led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

  • Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
  • Film Club members – Free entry
  • Guests – £4 (cash please)
  • Refreshments available, including a cash bar.

Broadwindsor’s Bells Ring Out On 80th D-Day Anniversary

The Bells at St. John the Baptist Church rang out yesterday afternoon as part of the commerative honours for the fallen.  For those who missed them and for those who have been missing the sound of our church’s bells – the following is a ten minute recording taken while sat in the back garden of The White Lion

Many watched on as the children from the local primary school stood by the new war memorial and some read out facts from their research they had been conducting at school.

The beacon was lit in the evening at the allotments.

Thank you to Margery Hookings for the photographs 🙂
