LOCAL HERO
Now and again there comes a film that leaps into your heart. An unashamedly brilliant Scottish comedy but with universal appeal. Although resonant of the Ealing comedies, it lifts the genre to another level and the scenery is magnificent! Starring Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Fulton Mackay, Peter Capaldi and Dennis Lawson.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT; WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CINEMA SEASON.
