Berwick Film Society: C’est la Vie (Le Sens de la fete) (15)

Main House Theatre  |  Until 27 April 2022

A wedding banquet in a picturesque chateau must be planned and executed to perfection. Enter Max, one drillmaster of a catering organiser with a lot on his plate: the flirty girlfriend, a rogue staff team, one pain in the derrière of a groom and a hired singer with his personal songlist.

A melting-pot of personalities make this comedy of errors a delightful watch. Avoiding the pitfalls of standard wedding movies, it breezes along with congenial French wit, seasoned with a soupçon of poignancy. Enjoy its winning charm!
