The Bigger Picture film club ? ?About Elly? (2009) at East Dulwich Tavern on 15 June 2017


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?About Elly? (2009) at 8pm on Thursday, 15 June 2017, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


The mysterious disappearance of a kindergarten teacher during a picnic in the north of Iran is followed by a series of misadventures for her fellow travellers. Sepideh invites Elly to the seaside with some middle class families in order to introduce her to their divorced friend Ahmad. The next morning the two women go shopping in the town, leaving the children playing in the sea under Elly?s supervision. Sepideh's daughter calls to some men playing volleyball to rescue one of the children from the water, and finds that Elly has disappeared. After the rescue they seek out Elly, questioning whether she has drowned or returned to Tehran.


Director: Asghar Farhadi

Iran 119 minutes Cert 12A


We say: We have wanted to screen a film by the excellent Iranian director, Asghar Farhadi, for a while but struggled to make a choice between them. In our opinion About Elly is a sensitive, beautiful and memorable film and certainly one of Farhadi's best.


Bar opens from 7pm. Film at 8pm.

    • The one on Chesterfield was sold and they increased cost and some of their best staff left with the previous owner, hasn’t been the same since. Shame really
    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
