MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY NO 1 (L'Ennemi Public No 1) de Jean-Francois Richet avec Ludivine Sagnier, Mathieu Amalric, Vincent Cassel

Following his outlandish criminal exploits and eventual imprisonment overseas, Mesrine is back on French soil and in police custody facing charges for a long list of illegal activities. But after kidnapping the judge and fleeing the courtroom during his trial, the audacious gangster goes on the run and is named public enemy number one.
However, Commander Broussard (Olivier Gourmet) is on his tail, doggedly tracking the villain until he finally puts him back behind bars. It's here that Mesrine reinvents himself as a superstar criminal, penning an autobiography and becoming a household name. Of course, it's not long before he's up to his old tricks again, escaping prison, committing increasingly outrageous crimes and garnering column inches. But time is running out for the infamous felon as Broussard closes in for the final, bloody confrontation.
In French and English with English subtitles.

We are again organising a cinema trip with our sister organisation, the London French Language Meetup Group, - http://french.meetup.com/574/

2.45pm showing, Sunday 23 August (PLEASE ARRIVE EARLIER TO BUY TICKETS)

MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT (L'instinct de mort) un film de Jean-François Richet avec Vincent Cassel, Cecile de France & Gerard Depardieu

Brilliant film. Highly recommended.

Mesrine: Killer Instinct introduces us to Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), a loyal son and dedicated soldier back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Handsome and charming, he is soon seduced by the neon glamour of Sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido (Gerard Depardieu) Mesrine soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder, choosing the high risk life of a gangster over the honest life of the hard working family. After pulling off an audacious heist he and his lover Jeanne (Cecile de France), flee to Canada where the opportunity of one big payout lures him out of hiding and propels him towards international notoriety. In French, Spanish, English and Arabic with English subtitles.

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF A TWO-PART FILM. ON SAT 29TH AUGUST WE WILL BE GOING TO SEE PART 2, SO WE ADVISE THAT YOU SEE PART 1 BEFORE THEN.
