The film club starts 2025 with a double bill of Rashomon, the 1951 Japanese classic (with subtitles) and The Smallest Show on Earth, starring Virginia McKenna, Peter Sellers and Margaret Rutherford. As ever, for a suggested donation of £2 (£1 senior citizens and children) you receive a full evening’s entertainment with refreshments. Doors open at 6pm and the film commences at 6.30pm in the Hall next to the Church. For more information contact Martin Aldred, macl01050@gmail.com.
Rashomon is the tale of a bandit ambushing a couple travelling through the forest in their coach. This incident is witnessed by a priest, a woodcutter and a peasant, who all see things differently. So what actually took place? This stunning film is one of the greats of world cinema and a must-see.
