Good People
The film night for Thursday 4th September for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the classic French comedy, Riviera Revenge.
Our 8pm screening is the documentary Mozart's Sister which explores the dazzling talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang.
RIVIERA REVENGE
France, comedy (subtitles), 2024
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: André Dussollier, Sabine Azéma
Ex French general François and his wife, Annie have been married for five decades and are enjoying all the perks of retirement.
François is tidying the attic one day, only to find love letters from Annie's secret affair with a man called Boris from 40 years ago.
Does François turn the other cheek and celebrate their 50 years of being together, or does he use his espionage skills to track down Annie's former lover?
Hell-bent on justice, François scours the Côte-d'Azur, determined to confront Boris, even if it means losing what he holds most dear in the process. It’s vengeance but it's French Riviera-style - with stunning backdrops and a whole lot of heart.
" A comedy anchored by two veterans of French cinema who know how to tease out every nuance of love, regret, passion and humour ." - Irresistible magazine

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
