Drimpton Film Club – Tonight, 7pm – “Sweet Bean”

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm showing of “Sweet Bean” (PG), a Japanese film with sub titles directed by Naomi Kawase.

A struggling street vendor needs to pay rent on his stall and trade is bad.  He makes little pancakes with a sweet bean paste but he knows his paste is not as good as it should be. Help to turn his business around comes from an unexpected source and that is where our tale starts.

This is a beautifully made film, no excessive dialogues, so time to hear city life, the rustling of the trees, nature and the seasons and three lonely people coming together for mutual benefit.

A wonderful book. A wonderful film.

At Drimpton Village Hall on Wednesday, 8th December – Nomadland (12), 103 minutes.

A victim of the economic crisis of 2008 in America, Fern is driven to packing up what possessions she can fit into her old van and then sets off on the road, but to where? But she is not alone, joining the many nomads in the same situation.

The film won the Oscar Best Picture Award this year and Frances McDormand won the Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Fern.

The film is based on a non-fiction book written by Jessica Bruder about the phenomenon of Americans who, in the recession 0f 2007/2009,were forced to adopt the travelling lifestyles in order to survive.
