* A Fantastic Woman is the next screening by Llangollen's New Dot Cinema.
Coming hot on the heels of their last screening, New Dot's
next film offering is being shown on Friday October 19 at
Llangollen Town Hall.
A Fantastic Woman won an Oscar this year for Best
Foreign Language Film.
This is a powerful tale of love and grief,
from Chilean director Sebastián Lelio.
After her older lover unexpectedly
dies, Marina (Daniela Vega), a young trans woman, must face
questioning from her partner’s family and harassment from the police in order
to prove that she had nothing to do with his death — all while trying
to come to terms with her loss.
An outstanding, timely work that recalls the very best films
of Pedro Almodóvar, it features luminous visuals and elegant flights of
surrealism.
It's been described as a "courageous, audacious and defiant declaration of
Marina’s status as
a woman – and a fantastic one, at that".
A Fantastic Woman is rated 15.
Doors and bar open at 7:30pm with the film starting at 8pm.
Tickets
are £8/£6 on the door and £6/£5 plus booking fee online. Tickets also
available at
Llangollen Oggie Shop, Castle Street. More information can
be found on Facebook, Twitter and at www.newdotcinema.org
