The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

You’ll find all the old actors and characters from the first film are here and it is nice to be in their company for another two hours. India looks ravishing: Totally sanitised and with the locals showing proper deference to the Raj. The colour and music are lovely.

As the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel has only a single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament for two fresh arrivals – Sonny pursues his expansionist dream of opening a second hotel.  The film is directed by John Madden and stars Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and all the usual faces.

This film will be shown on Tuesday 7th July at Capel Village Memorial Hall.  Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm showing.  Tickets are priced at £4, cash, payable at the door.

We look forward to seeing you and then we take a 2 month break with the next film being shown in October.  We still have to have to be told what films will be available for the autumn season, but once we know the list for the next 3 months will be circulated together with the dates.

Flix In The Stix Capel’s Cinematic Experience

Posted on by

This month’s film is Mr. Turner, which is based on Mike Leigh’s biography of the artist J.M.W Turner, who is played by Timothy Spall. Turner lived from 1775-1851 and was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts. A lot of the film was shot at Petworth House, which is relatively local for us, where Turner had a permanent studio. The third Lord Ergemont was one of Turner’s greatest patrons and the house was used as one of the key locations in the film. Showing in the Capel Memorial Hall on Tuesday 3rd March. Doors open at 7:30pm for 8pm start. Refreshments available. Everyone welcome. £4 on the door.
