The Hundred-Foot Journey tonight

A reminder that the first of the films showing at the Public Hall this Autumn is showing this evening, Saturday, October 25th, at 7.30pm:

The Hundred-Foot Journey

Helen Mirren Mirren stars as Madame Mallory, owner of Le Saule Pleurer (The Weeping Willow), an elegant and expensive French restaurant that's the winner of a prestigious Michelin star. But one star isn't enough for the coldly driven Mme. Mallory – she wants another, and then another.

But her bloodless quest for gourmet grandeur is interrupted by the arrival across the street of an Indian family: the Kadams, who've been wandering around Europe ever since their beloved restaurant back home burned down during political rioting.

When the brakes on their car malfunction on a treacherous stretch of spectacular countryside, Papa (Om Puri) insists it's a sign from his late wife and decides to open a new eatery in the charming town at the bottom of the hill.

The hundred-foot journey is the distance between the competing restaurants – this is described as a "feel-good" film, with the interaction between the restaurant owners as the central tension in the plot.

The film starts at 7.30pm in the Public Hall and, as usual tickets are £5 for all parts of the auditorium – tickets can be obtained from the Post Office or Williams' Newsagents or you can risk paying on the door.
