The Bigger Picture film club ? ?The Second Mother? (2015) at East Dulwich Tavern on 16 March 2017


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?The Second Mother? (2015) at 8pm on Thursday, 16 March 2017, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


Val is a live-in domestic servant in S?o Paulo, whose life is thrown into disarray when her grown daughter Jessica arrives from their hometown to study for her college entrance exams. The understood boundaries that rule Val?s life with her employer B?rbara don?t apply to this vibrant, smart young woman, whose questions bring everything into clearer focus.


?The Second Mother," said Director Anna Muylaert, "is a very feminine story. It?s about relationships and power and education. When people ask me ?Do women direct differently than men??, I believe in a feminine way of looking and a masculine way. Almodovar is very feminine, Woody Allen has a feminine look. Bigelow she has a masculine look. It doesn?t matter who?s directing, man or woman, but how you look?.


Director: Anna Muylaert

Brazil 112 minutes Cert 15


We say: A funny, but nevertheless accurate study of class in modern-day Brazil. Given a big thumbs up by three of The Bigger Picture team - particularly Katy, who hasn't let us forget for a moment that we voted for its inclusion in our programme a year ago.


Bar opens from 7pm. Film at 8pm.

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
