*Wednesday 14th January, The Ballad of Wallis Island*
TOMORROW NIGHT – the return of the Compton Film Club. Back to cheer up your cold, wet January with a film we have been longing to show. We finally have the rights and are delighted to present *The Ballad of Wallis Island*, a gentle, funny yarn of a folk duo reunited by a rather odd superfan played by Tim Key, a millionaire recluse who lives on the remote Wallis Island off the coast of Wales. His dream is to reunite the folk duo, McGwyer Mortimer (played by Tom Baden and Carey Mulligan).
‘a lovely, melancholic comedy about the acceptance of failure, loss and the slow understanding that what’s gone is not coming back: an ode to rain and cardigans, lousy plumbing and worse puns … both gloriously funny and oddly comforting, taking a world where everything seems to be slowly coming adrift and making that feel so much more bearable … still somehow finding reasons to be cheerful.’ *The Guardian*
Come and be cheerful with your friends, neighbours and fellow film enthusiasts for one of the top-rated audience films of last year. Refreshment and chat beforehand – the bar opens at 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm.
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! (that’s Happy New Year in Welsh)
