I've written on the blog before about going to the cinema and hunting out Version Originale films. Our local little cinema in Questembert has two screens, is largely run by volunteers and shows a wide variety of films including at least one film in English in an afternoon showing every month with all tickets at a discount price. December's film was the brilliant "Pride" and was prefaced by a lovely speech in English and French by the chairwoman of the organising committee thanking everyone for coming in 2014 (actually it was our first visit) and saying that the programme would continue for 2015. All 17 members of the audience seemed to enjoy this!
January's film was Mike Leigh's remarkable "Mr Turner" with Timothy Spall in the title role. British readers may not know Tim Spall apart from his role as Barry the builder from Birmingham in "Auf Wiedersehn Pet":
But he's a great actor and made the role of JMW Turner his own. Highly recommended.
