BATCOMBE Film Society’s film for December is The Divine Order being shown on Friday 10th November
It’s 1971 in deeply conservative Switzerland and Nora, a dutiful and placid housewife, is bored. She wants to get a part-time job but her husband forbids it – women there are denied the right to vote and it’s against the law for her to go against his wishes. Nora starts to question the status quo and, despite opposition, rallies the women in her village to take action. A serious message presented in a jolly, feel-good comedy (dir. Petra Volpe/ 2017 / 94 mins / 12A / Swiss German with subtitles).
Batcombe Jubilee Hall, doors open 7.15pm for 7.45pm screening. For further information, please contact Ann Biddle 850307 Please note all screenings will be subject to prevailing Covid-19 regulations.
