Batcombe Film Society
Date: Friday 27th September 2024
Time: 7.00 for 7.45pm
Venue: The Jubilee Hall, Batcombe
The first film of the new season is Wicked Little Letters (2023/100 mins/15). A 1920s genteel seaside town is scandalized when residents receive anonymous letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, the film follows two neighbours, strictly brought up Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and foul-mouthed, rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). The letters prompt uproar in the town with suspicion inevitably falling on Rose. However, the town’s women, led by PC Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), feel something is amiss and begin their own investigations . . . BBFC Insight: very strong language, strong sex references, controlling behaviour. The full programme for the 2024/25 season can be downloaded from the Clubs and Societies page.
