ONCE IN TRUBCHEVSK
(ODNAZHDY V TRUBCHEVSKE)
Larisa Sadilova
13:30 | GATE NARRATIVE
Trubchevsk is a quiet Russian backwater where nothing much happens, a place where everybody knows everybody else’s business. Yet Anna (Kristina Schneider) has managed to keep her affair with her long- distance truck driver neighbour (Egor Barinov) secret, conspiring to meet while both are working away from home. In motorway hotels, the adulterous pair plot a future together, though whether either of them can commit to facing exposure of their relationship to their families and the wider community is doubtful. Measured out in mannered style and with optimum dramatic restraint, Larisa Sadilova’s faithless fable is a funny, distinctive delight. MH

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly
15:00 | EVERYMAN
Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s glorious musical was just
a modest box office hit when it was first released in 1952, yet it has since come to be regarded as one of cinema’s greatest spectacles. An intriguingly self-referential film that looks back to a period of transition in Hollywood when silent movies were being overtaken by talkies, Singin’ in
USA 103 mins 1952
County Screenings Fri 15 Nov | 18:30 | Midleton & Mallow CLASSIC
the Rain has endured because of some immaculately choreographed set pieces that are still stunning; the wonderful music that forms its soundtrack (the title song, ‘Good Morning’, ‘You Were Meant For Me’, etc.); and
the infectious charm of a memorable cast led by Kelly, featuring Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds. MH
