Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 21st Nov.

This Friday, at The Comrades Hall, the Community Film Club will be showing:

The Penguin Lessons

Director: PETER CATTANEO
Starring: STEVE COOGAN & JONATHAN PRYCE

(Running time: 1 hour 50 mins.)

Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, this poignant comedy drama from director Peter Cattaneo follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history.

Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
