My Favourite Cake

My Favourite Cake Twelve A

97 minutes

A 70-year-old widow takes a second shot at love in this radiant tragicomedy from Iran.

Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) has lived alone in Tehran since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe. One afternoon, a conversation with friends inspires her to break out of her solitary routine, and what begins as an unexpected encounter with Faramarz (Esmaeel Mehrabi) quickly evolves into an unforgettable evening.

Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha’s delightful film is also a defiant artistic statement about the complexity and individuality of older women’s lives.

“Wonderfully sweet and funny… a charming portrayal of a 70-year-old Iranian’s appetite for romance” ★★★★★ The Guardian

Much Ado about Jazz with Chris Gumley and Al Gurr at Upton Magna VH last night - absolutely brilliant night. Such fantastically talented musicians!

Excellent venue, interesting choice of films, good choice of refreshments and value for money. Very happy, friendly event. We look forward to coming to Colwall.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Really like the warm intimate atmosphere of these local productions, thank you!

Excellent service only way some people can see recent films.

Audience feedback - Lingen Village Hall

Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

Audience feedback - Lingen

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.

Audience feedback - Tasley

The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
