Gerringong Pics and Flicks - First Fri each month

If you are visiting Gerringong in July, don't miss the Gerringong Pics and Flicks at the Town Hall 7.30pm for 8pm screening.

This month: Micmacs

Directed by Jean-Pierret Jeunet (Amelie) David Stratton says: "It's got a very good plot, a strong plot, a sort of almost Frank Capra like story about the underdogs who take over the big arms dealers and overcome them. It's stuff with visual invention. It's got so many great visual ideas.
"I'm one of the few people that have admired Jeunet's films from a distance but found them hard to access emotionally. And this is full of his idiosyncratic visuals, crazy characters - literally outsiders in the Parisian community. But there was real joy in this film, and fun. It is constantly entertaining, narratively more cohesive than many of his films, and naively politically palatable."

Margaret loved it and called it "cheeky".
