Meeting Description

Who

Anyone really - this film will have English subtitles

Organized by

"There will be a red meetup card on a table in the Cafe"
--Fatima (Assistante Organisatrice)

Details

"For years the northern Pas-de-Calais region has been regarded by many French citizens from further south as a miserable hell of disused coal mines and rusting factories, and its inhabitants as depressed, violent alcoholics who speak an impenetrable dialect, Ch'timi. This all changed a few weeks ago with the release of comedian Dany Boon's heartwarming comedy, which became a smash hit at the French box office.

The film retraces the misadventures of a postal worker, Philippe Abrams (Kad Merad), who moves north from Provence for work and finds himself unexpectedly charmed by the region's unusual customs and warm hospitality, as embodied by Boon's character Antoine, the local postman."

This film has proven incredibly popular in France - in fact, it's been a cultural phenomenon!!: if you're interested in coming along, you MUST book in advance! ---> Call the filmhouse: 0131 228 2688!!

The film starts at 8.35pm, but Fatima will welcome in the cafe from 7.30pm for a chat before the show! And why not, afterwards!! :-)


Bon film!!

    C'etait un film tres francais dans son humour qui a certainement fait rire tout le public. C'etait bien-sur une occasion de rencontrer de nouveaux membres francais et francophiles. Une experience a renouveller avec l'aide de pathe (merci pour l'appero!) et aussi un grand merci a Fatima: bravo!
