Happy Viewing / Discovering!



REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES
A brilliant film that makes you
feel good and gives you the sense
that you can accept yourself
and your body. It emphasises what is true
but what many of us don't believe, that
we are beautiful as we are and that
what is important is in the inside.
Funny as well, it gets its point across
in a subtle, nonforceful way.
Go see it!
AWAKENING
very sad and sombre film portraying
a disease that the medical profession
initally don't understand.
AMELIE
A very thoughtful film dealing with human nature.

A modern day fairytale..prince and all!

One of those sentimental films you can watch repeatedly!

POINT BREAK
MY LEFT FOOT

to delve into the untouched
emotions.
