The Bigger Picture film club ? ?The Party? (2017) at the Ivy House on 26 April 2018


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?The Party? (2017) at 8pm on Thursday, 26 April 2018, at the Ivy House.


Janet (Kristen Scott Thomas) hosts a party to celebrate her new promotion to Shadow Minister for Health, with a few close friends, many of them rather closer to each other than she knows. A (very) black comedy; as new twists in relationships are revealed or hinted at, it becomes clear that this celebration is far better watched than participated in. Timothy Spall (playing her husband, where still waters may, or may not, be running exceedingly deep) excels as usual, as does the remainder of the cast in a very theatrical film (good lines, fast dialogue, provokes thought).


Director (and writer): Sally Potter

UK

Running time: 71 minutes.

Cert: 15


We say: - the dialogue in this film positively crackles.


Film at 8pm.

    • Just because something is abstract doesn’t make it dull…  Also the artist is a respected artist who has created street art all over london and the world. Commissioned by councils as well. The piece deserved to be protected  
    • The long-standing narrative "I wish the politicians would treat us like grown-ups" doesn't stand up very well when exposed to reality 
    • Yeh, I heard Badenoch banging on about how 'nothing works' at PMQs, as if this was a charge that could reasonably be laid at the feet of a recently elected Labour government. She's right that things are in a terrible state, but it was her government which left the country so. Labour have a huge uphill struggle to try and halt the decline of public services and restore our finances. People need to wake up to the legacy that the Tories have left us.
    • well yep - all of that is true and Labour boxing themselves in on Brexit red lines is counter to their growth narrative as well  (albeit semi-understandable given what would happened to the media and likes of Jazzer if they are even perceived to soften them) choppy waters ahead - but that would be true of any govt picking up the pieces and in no way validated the petition hysteria
