LITTLE WOMEN

LITTLE WOMEN
Wednesday 19 February 2020 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm

Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Meryl Streep

Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a ‘Little Women’ that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.

Florence Foster Jenkins (UK/Fr, 2016), cert. PG – ‘Babes-in-Arms’ screening

FFJ landscape poster ws200

11.00am

Bringing a baby is not compulsory but we cannot guarantee a quiet auditorium during this screening!

Director: Stephen Frears              

Starring: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg

FFJ I have a dream 200 for ws

Florence Foster Jenkins has many strings to her bow: socialite; opera buff; and great wealth to name a few.

The ability to sing, however, is not one of them. Despite this, she has developed a cult following through her exclusive private recitals.

Jenkins finally dares to publicise her supposed talents through a self-promoted show, with the help of her dubious husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Grant) and accompanist Cosmé McMoon (Helberg). The acknowledgement she receives however is not of the nature she expects.

Streep gives a vibrant, and typically masterful performance as the self-deceiving Jenkins in this tragicomedy, with Grant also on top form.
