Films this week at Chichester Cinema at New Park - March 20-27
Military Wives continues its feel-good Britcom story in a film directed by the Fully Monty director Peter Cattaneo. With their partners away serving in Afghanistan, a group of women on the home front form a choir and quickly find themselves with a media sensation. Kristen Scott Thomas is Kate who knows the heartache of separation and death, her military son killed in battle in the area her husband is fighting. Sharon Horgan is laidback Lisa and clashes with the more uptight Kate, the film based on a true story.
The acclaimed Portrait of a Lady on Fire is set in 1790’s Brittany, painter Marianne commissioned by the wealthy mother of a reluctant bride to do her portrait who secretly paints her at night, the hit film at Cannes beautiful in storyline and visually.
