Frome Film Club kicks off the new year with The Other Side of Hope (Cert 12A) on Wednesday 10th January at the Merlin Theatre starting at 8.00pm.
This gorgeous tragicomedy about the refugee crisis in Europe, from the acclaimed veteran director and master of deadpan wit Kaurismäki (Le Havre), interweaves the struggles of two men who have fled their homes – Khaled, a Syrian asylum seeker, and Wikström, a travelling shirt salesman who has walked out on his job and alcoholic wife and bought up a failing restaurant in Helsinki. A gently loving, comic fable about hope, full of warmhearted but unsentimental humanism.
There is still time to join the club online for £22.50 to see the remaining seven films from January to July screened on the second Wednesday of each month. Please visit the film club website for details of this mid-season special offer http://fromefilm.co.uk/index.html
