WORLD CINEMA

Tuesday 15th December @ 8.00pm

The New Girlfriend (Une nouvelle amie)

France  2014  107mins  Language: French with English subtitles

To reveal anything about the ravishing, unexpected twist in the latest of François Ozon’s audacious, elegant and witty melodramas would do both the film and its audience a significant disservice. So there is good reason to draw on reference here. Envisage a gloriously conceived, sublimely realised amalgam of the seething, flamboyant cinema of Douglas Sirk and the razor-sharp writing of Christopher Isherwood, and be sure that Ozon will have surpassed your wildest imaginings. Claire (Anaïs Demoustier), devastated by the death of her best friend, makes a promise to watch over her husband (Romain Duris) and newborn child. Battling through a fog of depression and a lack of responsiveness from her own husband, she reluctantly drags herself to the plush suburban home of her friend’s widower only to make a startling discovery about the form his grief has taken. At first shocked and resistant, then progressively seduced, she ultimately finds expression for her own crippling anguish and repressed desires. Demoustier and Duris give superb performances, perfectly attuned to the film’s pointed observations about gender, class and consumerism while conspiring with Ozon to paint a thick layer of normalcy over the disruptive, deliciously subversive story. - Clare Stewart, BFI London Film Festival 2014

“Smart, insightful French comedy... Romain Duris: a performance of such loveliness it might just make your heart burst.” - Cath Clarke, Time Out

“Ozon's psychosexual comedy slips with Freudian playfulness between ripe Hollywood melodrama, uptight English intrigue, gay Gallic romance and ecstatic Almodóvarian exploration.” – Mark Kermode, The Observer

“Delectably entertaining.” - Jusin Chang, Variety

JANE EYRE

LIVE ON DECEMBER 8TH AT 7.00pm FROM

THE NATIONAL THEATRE LONDON AT

MAYO MOVIE WORLD

Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms.

From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.

This acclaimed re-imagining of Brontë's masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic last year, when the story was performed over two evenings. Director Sally Cookson now brings her celebrated production to the National, presented as a single, exhilarating performance.

TICKETS ADULTS €17.50 / CHILDREN  €12.50
