Club Cinoche: Micmacs

Billed as a "satire on the world arms trade", Micmacs is about Bazil, an avid movie-watcher and video store clerk who's had his life all but ruined by weapons of war. When Bazil, played by the hilarious Dany Boon, ends up wandering the streets after being hit by a stray bullet, he is taken in by a motley crew of junkyard dealers, who are all too happy to help him with the complex scheme for revenge that he dreams up.

"Micmacs links Keaton, Chaplin and Tati to the surreal, stylised worlds of Lynch, Burton and Gilliam and draws on everything from film noir to Sergio Leone" - The Guardian

Please note, this film will be shown with English subtitles.

About Club Cinoche

Join us for Club Cinoche, a night of French film and guided conversation.

Club Cinoche is led by Francophile Kelly Thompson, a linguist who has both lived and taught in France, and Annabelle Haberkorn, a native French speaker. Passionate about sharing their love of the French language and culture, they create a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy a mix of film and guided conversation – so that you can practise your French, whatever your level. A bientôt alors!

The bar will be open for a glass of wine or beer to complement the experience.
