Early Doors - Monday: That They May Face The Rising Sun 15
Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in 1980s Ireland, That They May Face The Rising Sun is a sensitive and beautifully realised adaptation of the last novel by John McGahern.
Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate (Anna Bederke) have returned from London to live and work in a small, close-knit community in rural Ireland, close to where Joe grew up. He’s a writer, she’s an artist who retains part ownership of a London gallery.
Now embedded in a remote lakeside setting, the drama of a year in their lives and those of their neighbours unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons.
Early Doors: Sit back and enjoy coffee, cake and the big screen at Showroom Cinema for just £7 with a special all-in-one ticket for over 55s.
This week's screening will NOT feature descriptive subtitles. This is because they were not included in the digital files supplied by the film distributor. Hopefully as more cinemas offer this service to their customers, this will become less common and more films will become available to screen using this facility.
However, this film will feature English subtitles for foreign language dialogue.
