Subtitled screening of the British comedy 'Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint', with John Bradley, Celia Imrie and Richard E. Grant, in the Electric Palace's Christmas film programme.
Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint screens at The Electric Palace Cinema in Hastings on Thursday 17 December at 11:00. It's a British comedy with a proper all-star cast: John Bradley stars as the title character, with Celia Imrie, Richard E. Grant, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino and Kiell Smith-Bynoe. Jack Spring directed it, and it runs for 98 minutes.
The story centres on Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas. He's sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge, a retirement home on the brink of closure, where he's strong-armed into helping the residents put on a chaotic production of A Christmas Carol. Once inside, he clashes with the colourful crowd living there, including a chain-smoking ex-diva and a quietly wise model-shop owner.
