French Impressions: Oh My Goodness! (Juste Ciel!)
French Film expert Jon Davies hosts an informative and entertaining pre-film lecture before a hand-picked French film release in our new monthly club. The introduction lasts around sixty minutes, followed by a short break for refreshments followed by the film screening. French Impressions joins us from the Waterman’s Arts Centre, where Jon hosted it for over twenty years, with their kind consent.
About Oh My Goodness:
When the local nursing home finds itself in dire straits and in danger of falling to pieces, it’s down to Mother Veronique (Valérie Bonneton) and the five eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict to find a way to help.
Spotting a poster for a bike race with a €25,000 cash prize (and the incentive of a trip to the Vatican for the winner!), the sisters might just have their answer. The only drawbacks are that they are terrible cyclists, and their rival convent, led by Mother Veronique’s childhood rival Mother Josephine (Sidse Babett Knudsen), have their own plans for the prize money – and just a little more experience…but God works in mysterious ways!
Fun and frothy, Laurent Tirard’s hilariously absurd comedy will have you rolling in the aisles, and the stunning landscapes of France’s Jura region provide a beautiful backdrop too!
