Join us for the next gathering of the movie club about gay classics where we will watch a movie - on a 3x2 meter screen, talk about it and about other movies and series we have seen and liked.
It is free to attend. We will gather in a relaxed place next to Westerpark in Amsterdam, drinks and snacks - potluck style.
Departure
2015, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2248739/
An English mother and her teenage son spend a week in the South of France breaking up a summer home that has become one of the casualties of the boy's parents' crumbling marriage. Matters only become more complicated when an enigmatic local boy enters their lives.
We have selected a movie from 2015 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the group in February
"Beautiful, haunting film with stunning photography and acting. Juliet Stevenson and Alex Lawther are perfect in this haunting film. The photography is stunningly beautiful and complimented by a wonderful soundtrack including Oliver Daldry."
"The dynamics are given plenty of time to play out in this delicate, somewhat laboured character drama, which could almost be seen as a hymn to the great British art of not really talking about stuff."
"Delicately handled and beautifully filmed Departure also boasts two deeply felt performances with Juliet Stevenson making the most of an all-too-rare leading role."
