David Lean and Noël Coward’s timeless masterpiece returns to the big screen for its 80th anniversary.
Join us for a special screening in a setting that beautifully echoes the film’s iconic backdrop.
When Laura Jesson meets Dr. Alec Harvey by chance at a railway station, their ordinary lives are set on a new course. Though both married with children, their fleeting encounter sparks an unexpected connection - one that soon deepens into a powerful and forbidden love. As passion and duty collide, Laura and Alec must make a heartbreaking choice that will change their lives forever.
Presented in partnership with Create Studios, this screening is part of Too Much: Melodrama on Film, a nationwide season curated by the BFI and the Film Audience Network.
