Village Hall Film - I, Daniel Blake
2017-02-10 19:30 - 21:30 | Westbury Village Hall, Hannah's Lane, BA5 1JD
This is a second Cannes Palme D’Or winner for 80 year old director, Ken Loach, and has garnered outstanding reviews.
‘

Loach’s low-key naturalism, which barely masks his fury at the injustices perpetrated on screen, is matched by Dave Johns’s performance as Daniel.’
‘Equally heartwarming and heartbreaking. A testament to the humanism of writer/director Ken Loach.’
‘Cinema has the power to open our eyes to the world’s issues and offer a path forward if we’re willing to take it. I, Daniel Blake is a great example and should not be missed.’
