Welcome to the Malvern French Film Centre


The Malvern French Film Centre shows French films on the big screen once a month from September to June each year, in association with the French Institute’s IF Cinéma and Arts Alive. We run a themed six-film Weekend Film Festival each April and are proud to be recognised as a regional centre for French cinema by the Institute Français du Royame Uni. All films are shown with English subtitles and are screened in Malvern Theatres‘ Studio One, Grange Road, Malvern, WR14 3HB.

Our next screening will be

La Tulipe Noire 1963 (U)

English Title: The Black Tulip

Director: Christian-Jaques

Run Time 1h 55mins

on Sunday 22nd of March at 3.15pm & 6.45pm

 

A shining example of a lavish French historical drama with a great sense of fun staring Alan Delon – twice! – in the perfect marriage of comedy and swash-buckling adventure

 

 
It is 1789 and the start of the French Revolution. Aristocrat Guillame de Saint Preux lives a double life as the masked bandit “The Black Tulip”, played by Alan Delon, stealing from the rich to support the peasants. After being scarred in a fight he forces his idealistic twin brother, Julien, also played by Alan Delon, to impersonate him. Julien then falls in love and embraces the cause, but when he discovers that Guillaume is motivated by greed rather than justice sparks and swords fly.
 

La Tulipe Noire manages to straddle the notoriously difficult divide between serious drama and outright farce, with plenty of light comedic touches and deft character performaces, to turn in a timeless classic.
