January can be a very long dark month, so join us for a delightful summer on the French Riviera in the 1920s. There we find Colin Firth, an English gentleman posing as a Chinese magician, enchanted by the lovely Emma Stone, in a Noel Cowardesque crackling comedy of brittle dialogue and lovely scenery. Firth, a de-bunker of phoney spiritualists, has been summoned to expose an allegedly fake medium, but he can’t help but fall for her and an inevitable romance follows. A splendid, mostly British, cast enlivens this charming and very entertaining film from Woody Allan. Sunshine, sea, vintage cars, jazz and Riviera parties – all in the comfort of Rockbourne Village Hall….dispel those January blues.
