French Film Festival excites Nambour

The Young Lovers will be shown as the festival's opening night film.

Majestic Cinemas Nambour is excited to present a French Film Festival from 6 April to 4 May.

French Film lovers will enjoy four eclectic films, selected from the Alliance Francaise Film Festival held throughout the country earlier this year.

Majestic Cinemas chief executive officer Kieren Dell said, “After a tough couple of years where events have been limited, we’re so excited to get back to our regular film festivals, showcasing films from across the globe for the audiences of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland.

“French Films are always a favourite, so we couldn’t go past four films that will provide an eclectic viewing option for audiences.“

The four films include Farewell Mr Haffman, Little Nicholas’ Treasure, Maigret, and The Young Lovers.

Fairwell Mr Haffman (M): Based on a multi-award winning play, the gripping new historical drama from writer/director Fred Cavaye depicts a Faustian pact made between a Jewish jeweller and his apprentice in 1941 Occupied Paris, one that will forever change them. Our closing night film.

When: Sunday 24 April from 2.30pm and Wednesday 4 May from 7pm.

Little Nicholas’ Treasure (PG): As fun-loving as its namesake, Little Nicholas’ Treasure captures the magic of childhood and the values of both family and true friendship. With an all-star ensemble cast including Gregory Gadebois (Delicious), Jean-Pierre Darroussin and Noemie Lvovsky, this wildly entertaining film will strike a chord with audiences young and old.

When: Wednesday 13 April from 7pm and Sunday 1 May from 2.30pm.

Maigret (M): The legendary Gerard Depardieu plays Georges Simenon’s beloved police inspector – charged with uncovering the truth around the death of an unidentified young woman – in the masterfully-directed and hugely entertaining new film from Patrice Leconte (Ridicule, The Girl On The Bridge, Monsieur Hire).

When: Sunday 10 April from 2.30pm and Wednesday 27 April from 7pm.

The Young Lovers (M): A modern and emotionally-nuanced romantic dramedy of a woman who embarks on a relationship with a much younger man, and the implications her choices have on those around her. Our opening night film.

When: Wednesday 6 April 7pm and Saturday 30 April from 7pm.

Cinema audiences are encouraged to book tickets in advance.
