Sydenham Film Club presents La Vie de Jesus

Thurs 23 Feb, 7.30pm, The Golden Lion, 116 Sydenham Road SE26 5JX; tickets £5 on the door

One of the great debut films of recent years, Bruno Dumont’s La Vie de Jesus presents life’s brutality and exhilaration played out by turns within the quarters of a tiny Flemish country town. Here, positioned in relative isolation from the rest of so-called cultural Europe, the connections between individuals will take on a physical power inflected by boredom, desperation and urges as raw as the earth.
