On Monday 21st October at the Balwyn Cinema, the group saw 'The Critic', a thriller drama staring Ian McKeller as a powerful theatre critic involved in

manipulation and blackmail that in turn resulted is deadly consequences. 

The movie involved a host of moral and social issues of the time plus put a spotlight on the ethics and responsibility of newspaper management and journalists. Other comments in shared discussion over an extended lunch included great costuming, several excellent performances, detailed recreation of city scenes and some spicy dialogue. 

And the consensus, a very enjoyable movie.

Septembner 2024

On Monday 16 September

  members saw the film Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe at the Balwyn Cinema. They all enjoyed this beauitiful and poetic historical drama about the turbulent love story between the renowned post-impressionist painter and his lesser known (but influential) wife.

1893 when aspiring French artist Pierre Bonnard meets Marthe de Meligny, he has no idea that she will become the cornerstone of his life and work. From this moment, though she appears in over a third of his work, she is more than just a muse; together over five decades the couple will explore creative fulfilment, love and jealousies that challenge the standards of the time.

Lunch afterwards as usual was enjoyed by all.
