On Tuesday, 9th June, we will be showing Sunset Boulevard ( Okay, the film's real name is Sunset Blvd., as on the road sign). It is where Hollywood royalty lives, and here's the mansion of Norma Desmond, a faded superstar of the silent screen. Movie roles long since dried up for her, so she's spent years writing a comeback vehicle for herself. When she meets Joe Gillis, a hack screenwriter down on his luck, she hires him to improve her script. And maybe for something more...
The casting is perfect (especially Gloria Swanson, herself a faded star, as the monstrously entitled Norma); the comedy is pitch black (by Billy Wilder, later of Some like it hot); the plot is so audacious you'll gasp. Ever seen a movie narrated by a co**se? Absolutely unique, and one of the very greatest.
Ticket price includes wine or soft drink. Doors open 7pm, film shows from 7.30pm.
When you book via website or in advance at our box office, you will be sent a receipt which serves as your 'ticket'. When you attend the film, show your receipt - either as a printout, or on a mobile device.
