SUBTITLES 

Dear English teacher, student, Anglophile and/or film fan (everybody is welcome!),

We would like to invite you to join our fourth season of the monthly English film club called “SUBTITLES”, Fridays at 8 p.m. at The Roxy Theatre in Koersel .
The idea is to show only English spoken films with an English introduction, English subtitles and English review on paper. We are showing comedies, dramas, romances, biopics and “outsiders”, sometimes based on classic or modern English or American novels.
Tickets cost €4 and with our free Film Pass you get your 7th movie for free, after which you will receive a new Pass. We would be very pleased to welcome you on our first film night
on Friday 25 September for the screening of the dramatic comedy ‘Margot at the Wedding’.

The Menu for the rest of the year:

 

• 25 Sep: ‘Margot at the Wedding’ (Noah Baumbach): dramatic comedy about two estranged sisters, starring Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
• 23 Oct: ‘Frost/ Nixon’(Ron Howard): fictionalized biopic about a famous interview in 1977 between playboy talk show host David Frost and former president Nixon in the form of a boxing match.
• 27 Nov: ‘Doubt’ (John Patrick Shanley): drama set in a 1960s Irish Catholic school in The New York Bronx with Meryl Streep as a tough headmistress and Philip Seymour Hoffman as a progressive Father in serious trouble.
