Chance to catch cheap films
The annual Fête du Cinéma is back this week – for a shorter period but with a bigger discount
CINEMA fans have the chance to see cheap films this week – but time is running out.
The Fête du Cinéma started on Sunday June 24, and this year is lasting just four days, until Wednesday June 27. This is down from the usual seven days.
However there are bigger discounts than last year – after a first film at the normal price, films at participating cinemas cost €2.50, down from €3 last year.
On watching a first film you will receive a Fête du Cinéma bracelet giving access to the discounts for subsequent ones.
Sponsor BNP Paribas is offering the chance to win an extension to the offer period until July 4 with an online game at: BNP Paribas competition
Among the films in cinemas this week are Ken Loach’s The Angel’s Share, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes (A Scottish-based film about whisky); Snow White and the Huntsman, a live action version of the fairytale; De Rouille et d’Os (Rust and Bone) , starring Marion Cotillard as a killer whale trainer who has a relationship with a homeless man; and more usual summer blockbuster fare including Men in Black III and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, in which the animals visit locations including Monaco, France and London.
This year the event is being promoted with an advert showing a precocious small boy trying to ask out women to spent time with “you and me in a darkened room”: Advert
