Cookham Twinning Show Film "Plein Soleil" |
||||||
Cookham Twinning chose the Pinder Hall for their venue to show the film 'Plein Soleil'. 'The Talented Mr Ripley' was based on 'Plein Soleil' and apparently has the same ending. The rest of the film had that incredible French touch which is so different from the American blockbuster. The French don't glamorise, they show life how it really is, which makes their directors so outstanding. Luckily the film had English subtitles, so it was understood by all. One person said that he had come because he had been told by a member of the Twinning Committee that it was steamy, the Committee member said no, she had said Smoky, not Steamy!! |

Everyone was able to sit down with a glass, or in some cases with a bottle of wine, crisps and choc ices were also on sale. There were three reels each lasting about forty minutes, so two intervals. In the second one a raffle was held with some French prizes such as haricot blancs in goose fat, French wine vinegar aux shallottes and a painting by Claude Monet (a copy not an original), plus of course red and white wine. All those who went said what a thoroughly enjoyable evening it had been.
