Our next film will, for the first time, be a documentary from 2009 called His & Hers. It received some very warm reviews at the time of its release including from the Irish Times which called it “an impressive achievement” . The film’s director, Ken Wardrop offers an opportunity to a plethora of Irish women, mainly from the Midlands, to talk about the men in their lives over the course of about 80 minutes. It begins with daughters and runs through the ages of woman giving a voice to girlfriends, wives, mothers and finally widows. The pitch couldn’t be simpler but the film throws up warm and moving moments that are sure to please you and hopefully provoke some conversation also. We unfortunately couldn’t find the movie with French subtitles but we hope that doesn’t turn too many of you off coming. The English is not too difficult to understand, once you get the hang of the Midlands accent.
Do please come and join us on Thursday 27 February at the Maison des Européens (5 rue Pizay - go through the arch and it’s the first metal door on your left). Doors open at 7:45pm and we’ll get the film rolling at 8. As usual, drinks, nibbles and chat will be freely available after the screening.
