Film-lovers are being invited to a celebration of French film-making at the Station Cinema in Richmond next month.
The cinema is the only one in the North of England taking part in the UK-wide 25th Annual French Film Festival and will be showing nine films across a 12-day period from November 3 to 15.
Mike Slater, from the cinema, said: “As you might expect there is a wonderful mixture of film styles represented in this year’s programme, including Lost in Paris (Paris pieds nus), a joyful piece of French farce about a provincial French Canadian who comes to Paris to help with the care of her aged aunt.
This story continues after the adverts:
“Marie Curie – The Challenge of Knowledge, is a moving bio-pic of this Nobel Prize–winning physicist and chemist and her struggle for recognition in a largely male dominated scientific community.
“Two more historic dramas in the festival are Gauguin (Gauguin – Voyage de Tahiti) and A Woman’s Life (Une vie) the adaption of Guy de Maupassant’s first novel, in which a young noblewoman copes with the loss of ideals.
Also featured in this year’s festival is Ismaël’s Ghosts (Les Fantômes d’Ismaël) a contemporary multi-layered tale within a tale that stars several of France’s leading actors like Mathieu Amalric and Marion Cotillard.
Other modern dramatic themes cover, the pursuit of love in middle-age, fire-fighting on the Côte d’Azur and the somewhat unpredictable consequences of tracing the father you never knew.
