Paradiso Cinema Club - Nomadland
When: Friday 09 August 2024
Wickham Hall - 23 Ashburton Road, Bovey Tracey. TQ13 9YQ
Nomadland
Bovey Paradiso Cinema Club is delighted to present for our next film night the award winning movie, Nomadland.
A woman in her sixties, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.
The Guardian described Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland as an utterly inspired docu-fictional hybrid, like her previous feature The Rider. It is a gentle, compassionate, questioning film about the American soul. With artistry and grace, Zhao folds nonprofessional’s into an imagined story built around a cheerful, resourceful, middle-aged woman played by Frances McDormand. This quiet, self-effacing performance may be the best of her career so far.
Director - Chloé Zhao
Writers - Chloé Zhao, Jessica Bruder
Stars - Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Linda May
Duration – 1hour, 40 minutes
Certification – 12 A
Tickets are priced at £7.50
Please note tickets are non-refundable. There are only a limited number of tickets available and are released on a first -come first served basis with Paradiso Cinema Club members having early access.
We want to make our Cinema Club nights as inclusive as possible and we will be showing the film with subtitles for our guests that have reduced hearing. Please do let us know if you would like us to reserve seating that will give you the best view of the subtitles that will be at the base of the screen, below the film.
Doors at Wickham Hall will open at 18.45 with the film starting at 19.30. Drinks (licensed bar) and light snacks will be available to purchase. There will be an intermission for refreshments and leg stretching.
Please note there is limited on street parking at the venue and we recommend that you park at the Riverside car park - a short 5-10 minute walk. Wickham Hall is a wonderful venue for our Cinema Club nights but is not the purpose built cinema that we will have at Paradiso - you may wish to bring a cushion with you on the night to improve the seat comfort!
