WILD STRAWBERRIES: BEHIND THE CANDELABRA

Director: Steven Soderbergh

118 minutes, U.S.A., 2013


Wild Strawberries is our bi-monthly film club for over 55s.

This sequin-filled account of piano maestro Liberace’s secret love affair with Scott Thorson is revelatory – not only for the relationship itself, but also for the superb performances of Michael Douglas as the pomaded, perma-tanned entertainer and Matt Damon as the eager-to-please, much younger man.

Based on Thorson’s book, it covers the final decade in the life of the acquisitive star as he becomes increasingly controlling of the drug-using Thorson. Features some brief sex scenes.

€3.85 including regular tea/coffee before the screening. Wild Strawberries is our film club for over 55s. If you are lucky enough to look younger, please don’t take offence if we ask your age.
