CARLETON will hold its first film of 2016 next Saturday, January 30.
The featured film will be Suite Francaise, based on the bestseller by Ukrainian émigrée Irène Némirovsky.
It follows a beautiful young Parisian, Lucile Angellier (Michelle Williams), anxiously awaiting news of her prisoner-of-war husband whilst lodging with her domineering mother-in-law (Scott Thomas) in a village in Burgundy.
Already overwhelmed by the influx of refugees fleeing Paris, the locals are soon obliged to billet the occupying German troops that follow. Lucile finds herself falling for a handsome and sophisticated young officer (Matthias Schoenaerts), leading inevitably to emotional conflict and tragedy.
The film explores the theme of women’s experience of World War Two.
The screening will take place in Carleton Village Hall at 7.30pm.
