BATCOMBE Film Society’s 2019/20 season begins on Friday 13th September with Can You Ever Forgive Me?
The film is the entertaining and moving account of biographer Lee Israel’s career as a forger. Dropped by her publisher in the 1990s, lonely and desperate to raise some money to pay the rent and look after her cat, she embarks on a new vocation forging literary letters, aided by her unlikely new friend, the flamboyant British ex-pat, Jack Hock.
Melissa McCarthy and Richard E Grant (both Oscar nominated) are terrific as the two leads in this hugely enjoyable tragi-comedy (dir Marielle Heller/2018/104 mins/15). Doors open from 7.15pm with the screening at 7.45pm. To join or book guest tickets, please contact Ann Biddle 01749 850307.
