Fjord Drama - Winner Cannes Film Festival (Location TBC)

Note: Once theatres update their movie listing, latest Wednesday that week, the time and location will be confirmed. On **Saturday October 24th,** join me to see **Fjord, Winner of the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival**. The latest film from writer-director Cristian Mungiu is a gripping high-stakes courtroom drama driven by a profound moral dilemma, where private lives are laid bare for public scrutiny. In the latest from masterful Cristian Mungiu (*Graduation,* TIFF ’16; *R.M.N*, TIFF ’22), Lisbet (Renate Reinsve, TIFF ’25’s*Sentimental Value*) and Mihai Gheorghiu (Sebastian Stan, TIFF ’23’s *Dumb Money*) are a conservative Christian couple who’ve relocated from Romania to an isolated Norwegian town with their five children. Unlike their new neighbours, the Gheorghius enforce daily bible study and don’t allow trappings like smartphones and YouTube. The family’s rigid beliefs cause a stir when one of the children is accused of introducing religious bias into their school by criticizing another student’s sexual orientation. This, however, is just the beginning of the family’s problems.... **My seat is TBC.
