CLASSIC MATINEE: JEAN DE FLORETTE
£5 tickets for Seniors. Free tea, coffee and biscuits after the screening.
Nominated for 10 BAFTAs and eight César awards and at the time the most expensive French film ever made, JEAN DE FLORETTE is a richly filmed, luscious picture, crammed with gorgeous locations, featuring Yves Montand in one of his last roles and Daniel Auteuil, who won a BAFTA and a César award for his performance.
In a rural French village, an old man and his only remaining relative cast their covetous eyes on an adjoining vacant property. They need its spring water for growing their flowers, and are dismayed to hear that the man who has inherited it is moving in. They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield through the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts, they think only of getting the water.
Classic Matinee is a monthly screening of famous and undiscovered classics. Following the films there is a chance to socialise with free tea, coffee and biscuits. Tickets for the over 60's are just £5.00, carers go free and we welcome people living with dementia and care home residents (please contact us if you want to bring a group).DramaPT2H1MPG2025-07-02Yves Montand
