Monday 6 September 2010

6pm coffee, 6.30pm screening

Best in Show

The owners (and handlers) of five show dogs head for the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. A film crew interviews them as they prepare for the trip, arrive at Philly's Taft Hotel, and compete. From Florida come the Flecks: she keeps running into old lovers. A wordless ancient in a wheelchair and his buxom trophy wife who may have a thing for the dog's handler own the two-time defending best in show, a poodle. From the piney woods of N.C. comes a fella who wants to be a ventriloquist. High-strung DINKs feud loudly in front of their Weimaraner. Two outré gay men from Tribeca round out the profiled owners. The dog show brings out the essence of the humans. Who will be best in show?

Released (2000) Certificate (PG)

Director: Christopher Guest, Language: English. Runtime 90 mins

The first screening was a film chosen by Movie Club members via an online forum, after the first screening members discussed, critiqued, reviewed and then offered up suggestions for the next screening. Suggestions have to link in some way to the previous screening either through director, actors, writers, music, cinematography, theme, genre mood, etc.

After the second screening, new choices were put forward to be discussed and so it goes on. This way a broad range of films will be screened and debated, inevitably throwing up some very interesting connections and hopefully offering up some tantalising films you have never seen or have ever considered before.

Between screenings an online forum is available for Movie Club members to discuss film, agree, disagree, enthuse and generally chat to people who share the same passion for film.
