*Wednesday 10th June**, Rental Family*
‘A delicate and shrewdly-observed web of comedy, irony, tragedy and cultural confusion, *Rental Family* is a little treasure.’ *The Arts Desk*
Thank you to those who came along to our last showing on the hottest night of the year so far. Despite the heat, we were uplifted by the entrancing *H is for Hawk* and Claire Foy’s wonderful performance alongside the goshawk her character adopts.
It will be hard to match the beauty of that film, so we are venturing into entirely different territory for June with the Japanese-American bittersweet drama, *Rental Family*, set in Tokyo, staring Brendan Fraser and directed by Hikari.
‘*Rental Family* is unabashedly sentimental, almost Frank Capra-esque at times. It’s also a thoughtful and insightful presentation of this unique and admittedly strange business of renting humans to help other humans. And it’s a knowing character study of a *gaijin *in Japan who knows he could live there forever and never fully grasp and understand the culture, but will never stop trying.’ *Roger Ebert*
Come and join your friends, neighbours and fellow film enthusiasts. Refreshment and chat beforehand – the bar opens at 7.30pm, films starts at 8pm.
