This film season at small Latin Quarter cinema Les 3 Luxembourg is a rare and very welcome overview of British films made between the early-1970s and the early-1990s. Precise programming details have been unavailable before the season starts, but the list includes over 30 movies, such as ‘Tommy’ (Ken Russell), ‘Moonlighting’ (Jerzy Skolimowski), ‘The Man Who Fell To Earth’ (Nicholas Roeg), ‘Looks and Smiles’ (Ken Loach), ‘Gregory’s Girl’ (Bill Forsyth) and ‘Local Hero’ (Forsyth again).
Le Cinéma en Plein Air
November 28, 2008La Villette’s annual outdoor film festival is a summer fave, with movies projected on to a huge inflatable screen. This year’s theme – ‘Les Grands Espaces’ (the great outdoors) – includes films by Kurosawa, David Lean, Chaplin, Agnès Varda and John Huston. Acoustics are some way short of multiplex standard and movies have been known to break down half way through for minutes at a time, but apart from the fact that all films are free, you should go at least once for the experience. Take friends, a blanket to sit on, a four-pack of beer and soak up the good-natured atmosphere (courtesy of Qantas).
