Catherine Deneuve Inaugure le nouveau Ciné Lumière
After
6 months of building work, Ciné Lumière finally reopens its doors.
Catherine Deneuve who had inaugurated the New French Institute a few
years ago, and who is viewed by many as its `Marraine' was there once
again. She was accompanied by Arnaud Desplechin the director of her
latest film, a Christmas tale (which has nothing to do with Charles
Dickens A Christmas Carol).
Catherine Deneuve cut the ribbon and for the
first time, the new revamped theatre was seen by the public. In total,
300 people had come to witness this event.
The French Ambassador in London, Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, told the
audience how this project had been made possible thanks to over 50
private benefactors and 13 companies who had all contributed
financially to this project. The Ambassador and the Mme Laurence Auer,
the head of the French Institute in London had worked very hard at
wooing sponsors. Laurence Auer targeted companies as well as private
individuals and the Ambassador hosted a number of dinners at his
residence in Kensington which helped unlock potential sponsors purses.
Many believe that it was just as well that this fundraising spree took
place nearly two years ago and not today.
The evening was a real success despite some small technical
problems with mics. Paul Ryan who has been presenting films at Cine
Lumière for a great many years was once again running the show and run
the interview with Catherine Deneuve and Arnaud Desplechin who were
both there to present their new film.
The Ambassador was clearly overwhelmed and honoured by Catherine
Deneuve’s presence and referred to her as the ‘la grande dame de la
France’.
Back to the Ciné Lumière, the new auditorium is much more comfortable.
Gone are the red seats which left little space for your feet. Now the
seats are light petrol blue and infinitely more comfortable and making
it a much more pleasant experience. We all put them to the test with
Arnaud Desplechin’s film lasting 150 minutes…and they passed. Apart
from the seats, the new Ciné Lumiere has also been given a brand new
digital projection room which indeed has made the quality of both
picture and sound infinitely better.
The next day, Paris 36 was launched at Ciné Lumière. This time, Christophe Barratier famous for his first film ‘The Chorus (les choristes) was accompanied by two key members of his cast Gérard Jugnot and Nora Arnezder. The evening was once again a great success despite the evening reception having to be moved from the Ambassador’s residence to the French Institute due to a major demonstration taking place that same day around the Israeli embassy.
Don't delay go and judge the changes for yourself.
