Bonjour,
Please join us on Wednesday, November 30th, for the projection of
the psychological thriller "Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien" by Dominik Moll.
With a friend like Harry - 2000
A
spiraling descent into fear which begins on a quietly ominous note as family man
Michel sets out for his summer home in the countryside with his wife Claire and
their three screaming infant daughters. A blistering heatwave and the
increasingly cranky children force the family to make a pitstop. In the rest
area, Michel bumps into Harry, an old school classmate he doesn't remember, but
who seems to remember Michel fondly. Harry, so impressed with Michel when they
were younger, even recites from memory a poem Michel wrote as a teenager. Soon,
Harry and his voluptuous fiancee, Plum, are joining Michel's family on their
vacation. Harry seems to be just what the family needs--his carefree spirit and
charm light up Michel's mundane little holiday, allowing him to let go. Yet the
friendlier Harry gets and the more generosity and advice he bestows on Michel,
the more mysteriously menacing his effects become.

Poiré, starring Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte, Marie-Anne Chazel, Josiane
Balasko and Christian Clavier. Félix, disguised as Father Christmas, hands out
leaflets advertising a sexy Christmas party. His place is taken by an African

about to leave him. When he comes after her, she takes refuge at "SOS Distress",
run by two neurotics, Thérèse and Pierre. |
