Breadmakers at the Alhambra

Breadmakers is to be screened at the Keswick Alhambra Cinema at 5pm on Sunday 17th February 2008 as part of a Keswick Film Club event.

Keswick Film Club began life in 1998 with the intention of bringing the best of World Cinema to Keswick. Since then it has won many awards from the British Federation of Film Societies including Best Programme four times, and regularly hosts 100+ audiences. In 2006-7 they were Film Society of the Year.

Breadmakers will be shown before 2 DAYS IN PARIS. As Peter Bradshaw (The Guardian) says, this is a very likable, smart, offbeat debut from Delpy as director, inevitably related to the Richard Linklater films in which she starred. Similar to the walk-and-talk intimacy of Before Sunrise and Sunset, but sharper, funnier and less syrupy, we follow a couple (Delpy and Adam Goldberg), she a Parisian, he a New Yorker, as they spend a weekend in her home town.

The film was written, edited, directed and co-produced by its star, who reveals a wicked sense of humour and a real understanding of relationships. She also wrote the music and cast her real parents as her onscreen ones.

In Philip French's opinion, Delpy's ego trip proves, fortunately, to be a happy, very funny excursion
