Picturehouse Cinemas show some fantastic world film in locations around Britain, and amongst the French listings this winter are Beautiful Lies, Tomboy and Romantics Anonymous.

Beautiful Lies

Originally released in 2010, Beautiful Lies stars Audrey Tatou and was directed by Pierre Salvadori. Tatou plays a hairdresser who finds herself in the middle of a complex love triangle in this romantic comedy, which centres around her attempts to spice up the love life of her recently divorced mother.

Tomboy

Tomboy is a coming-of- age story of a young girl called Laure who moves to a new area with her parents and little sister, and struggles to make friends – that is, until local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy. A happy summer is spent in the company of her new acquaintances, but complications soon arise…

Romantics Anonymous

With his beloved chocolate business struggling, timid owner Jean-René decides to enlist some help in the form of talented chocolatiere Angélique. She is equally as timid as him, but as the two get to know each other and share their love of chocolate, romances ensues. The film is a gentle comedy that stars Benoît Poelvoorde (Coco Before Chanel) as Jean-René and Isabelle Carré as Angelique.
