Brief Encounter

A Valentines Day screening of David Lean's classic tale of impossible love. In a café at a railway station, housewife Laura Jesson meets Doctor Alec Harvey. Although they are already married, they continue to meet every Thursday, gradually falling in love with each other. Adapted from a play by Noël Coward, this remains one of the most popular and moving British films of all time.

"The loveliest period piece imaginable."
