Relaxed Screening: Churchill
In Relaxed Film screenings we understand that people may want to talk during the film, walk around or leave the cinema - the lights are left on low in the cinema to make that easier for you. Come early and enjoy a free hot drink and biscuits before the film!
Everyone is welcome to these screenings, but the cinema environment is subtly altered to be friendly for people living with Autism and Dementia and their family, friends and carers.
Tensions mount for the beleaguered British Prime Minister in the days leading up to the infamous Allied D-Day landings in June, 1944. Fearful of repeating his deadly mistakes from World War I, exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression, and obsessed with his historical destiny, Churchill is reluctant to embark on the large-scale campaign, one that the entire war effort hinges upon. Clashing with his Allied political opponents, the troubled Churchill receives support and devotion from his wife, the brilliant and unflappable Clementine Churchill. With her strength and shrewdness, “Clemmie” halts Winston’s physical, mental spiritual collapse and inspires him on to greatness.
Dir. Jonathan Teplitzky, UK, 2017, 113 mins.
Cast. Brian Cox, Miranda Richardson, John Slattery.
