CINE FORUM
THE OLD OAK
Cycle: British cinema
Tuesday 6 May at 18:30
At the home of Eloísa Sánchez-Amillategui
The Old Oak tells us nothing new: closed mines, unemployment, abandonment, immigration…, what distinguishes this film is Ken Loach’s gaze, the narrative, the day-to-day, the protagonists, the tension between us and them and – it must also be said – the (necessary, unnecessary?) touching of the heartstrings to reach the spectator’s heart.
We will talk about what it tells and how it tells it. It will be a great debate. We’ll be sure.
