The BFI returns to the British Museum to present al fresco cinema on a dizzying scale for the launch of our next major national project: Love. Enjoy sunset screenings of classic films, which memorably evoke the heady promise of summer love. Arrive early to enjoy the offer from Benugo, where supper and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available to purchase before the screenings begin.
Tonight's offering is Merchant-Ivory’s 1985 production of E M Forster’s novel, A Room With A View. A moment of passion threatens to overturn everything when Lucy Honeychurch, a young Englishwoman touring Italy with her older cousin, finds herself un-chaperoned in the ravishing Tuscan countryside. Expect top-drawer performances from the British ensemble cast, stunning location photography and exquisite period styling. And, in a recent announcement, the BFI were happy to let us know that the screening will be opened by none other than Helena Bonham Carter. Witness a slice of film history introduced by movie royalty.
