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.

    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit. 
    • Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?

    • Petition Urge Israeli Government to stop law allowing execution of Palestinian prisoners The UK Government must act urgently to urge the Israeli Government to stop the proposed law which would permit the execution of Palestinian Prisoners, past, present and future. More details We believe that such a law would constitute complete violation of the Geneva Convention and International Human Rights Law. UN experts have called for these proposals to be dropped. We call on the UK Government apply considerable and substantial political pressure and the leverage of its international obligations to prevent the Israeli Government from passing this law.
