Independent Cinema for Everyone

Danish director Scherfig (An Education) delivers another evocative study of a transitional period in our history. Their Finest follows a young woman finding her way through the changing order of the nation, this time enjoying the new freedoms afforded to women during the Second World War. Catrin, a talented young copy-writer gets a job as a script editor with the Ministry of Information, where she’s hired to write women’s dialogue for propaganda films. She's drafted to work alongside a colourful crew to produce the cinematic stories the nation needs during the dark times of the Blitz. Bill Nighy is brilliant as an ageing movie star struggling to come to terms with the fact his days as a romantic-lead are long gone. Charming, nostalgic and spirited.
