BLINDED BY THE LIGHT (WILD STRAWBERRIES)

Director: Gurinder Chadha

118 mins, UK-USA, 2019, Digital


This film screened on Friday 25th  & Wednesday 30th  October 2019.

This film is F-Rated.

That music can change a life is no unusual theme, but it’s not so often the result is a drama touching on politics, family and race, as well as being a poignant comingof-age story too.

Director Gurinder Chadha successfully pulls it all together, taking the story of a young Asian man finding his way against a backdrop of Bruce Springsteen music. If you’ve ever been a fan of The Boss, or even looked to music to provide comfort or meaning, you’ll find much to enjoy in this rapturous, feelgood film.

Wild Strawberries is our film club for over 55s. Tickets: €5.50 including regular tea/coffee before the event. If you happen to look younger, please don’t take offence if we ask your age.
