Friday 3rd July (8.30pm)
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Woody Allen, 2008
Run Time: 96mins
Vicky and Cristina are two American friends in Barcelona for the summer. Vicky is sensible, cautous and soon to be married, Cristina is a free spririt open to pretty much anything. Then both women meet Juan Antonio, a soulful, outrageously flirtatious painter who invites them with hilarious directness to spend the weekend with him. Their reactions of outrage and intrigue are what we’d expect, the unpredictable element comes with the arrival of Maria Elena, Juan Antonio's volcanic, loose cannon ex-wife.
After the awful UK-based trilogy, Vicky Cristina Barcelona marks a massive and unexpected return to form for Woody Allen.

Wendy and Lucy
Kelly Reichardt, 2008
Run Time: 80 mins
From the director of Old Joy comes this minimalist gem, a character study of Michelle Williams' Wendy - an impoverished vagrant who sleeps in her car while on her way to minimum wage work in Alaska - and her dog, Lucy. When she stops in a nondescript, weary town she encounters a run of bad luck, some of it brought about by her own bad decisions. Her car breaks down. She is arrested for shoplifting. Her dog goes missing.
Underneath this plain narrative surface is a lucid and melancholy inquiry into the current state of American society. Much as “Old Joy” turned a simple encounter between two longtime friends into a meditation on manhood and responsibility at a time of war and political confusion, so does “Wendy and Lucy” find, in one woman’s partly self-created hard luck, an intimation of more widespread hard times ahead.
