Season Visions of Europe

French provocateur Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake) returns with a typically uncategorisable film – a rural homecoming story mixing passion, crime, mushrooms and bedroom farce to dizzily involving effect.

Jérémie returns to his hometown for the funeral of his former boss, the village baker. He decides to stay for a few days with Martine, the man's widow. A mysterious disappearance, a threatening neighbour and a priest with strange intentions make Jérémie's short stay in the village take an unexpected turn.

Guiraudie is one of the most unique and transgressive voices in cinema, and this deepest French mixture of black comedy and melodrama, steeped in dark desires, again reveals his penchant for genre-hopping and narrative unpredictability.

Visions of Europe returns for its 4th edition, celebrating the breadth of European cinema with a handpicked selection of new releases, previews, festival hits and classics returning to the big screen.

This film is Pay What You Can. This scheme invites you to think about your own circumstances and what you can afford to spend at the cinema. Instead of our usual ticket types, for all Visions of Europe films we have a sliding scale with tickets at £4, £7, £10 and £15. Find out more
