French Comedy Night!
SATURDAY August 9th, 2025
First film Indoors:
The Intouchables – August 9th, 2025, 7:00 PM (early start time!!)
A rich quadriplegic, living in a mansion in Paris, requires a live-in caregiver. A young offender turns up for an interview, but he is not really looking to get the job. However, to his surprise, he is hired. The two men then develop a close friendship. In the wrong hands this film could have been a sentimental mess. Luckily it’s not, and instead of being a film about labels, it’s about people and the healing power of camaraderie. “The Intouchables” is actually quite touchable.

Second film Outdoors (weather permitting):
Amélie – August 9th, 2025, 9:15 PM
Amélie is a delicious pastry of a movie, a lighthearted fantasy in which a winsome heroine overcomes a sad childhood and grows up to bring cheer to the needful and joy to herself. You see it, and later when you think about it, you smile. It is so hard to make a nimble, charming comedy. So hard to get the tone right and find actors who embody charm instead of impersonating it. It takes so much confidence to dance on the tightrope of whimsy. “Amelie” takes those chances, and gets away with them.
Comedy / Romance
Runtime 2 hour 2 minutes
