Frome Film Club is screening A Bigger Splash (2016, 124 minutes, Cert 15) directed by Luca Guadagnino, on Wednesday 9th November 8pm at the Merlin Theatre.
Rock legend Marianne (a near-mute Tilda Swinton) is recovering from throat surgery on the volcanic sun-baked island of Pantelleria with her younger boyfriend Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts) when an old flame Harry (Ralph Fiennes) crashes into their idyll with his sultry daughter Penelope (Dakota Johnson), creating a whirlwind of jealousy, desire and, ultimately, danger. Exceptional performances – particularly from Swinton and Fiennes – make this heady, entertaining melodrama a real delight.
Non-member tickets are available for £6.50 each from the Merlin Theatre box office on the night or can be pre-booked with the Merlin.
