Film and chat with veteran film enthusiast and director/teacher, Tony Wickert.

This week’s film is ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’ by Karel Reisz and starring Albert Finney.

It is about a young machinist, Arthur, who spends his weekends drinking and partying, all the while having an affair with a married woman.

The film is one of a series of "kitchen sink drama" films made in the late 1950s and early 1960s, as part of the British New Wave of filmmaking, from directors such as Reisz, Jack Clayton, Lindsay Anderson, John Schlesinger and Tony Richardson and adapted from the works of writers such as Alan Sillitoe, John Braine and John Osborne.

A common trope in these films was the working-class "angry young man" character who rebels against the oppressive system of his elders (in this case, the character of Arthur).

Entry is an obligatory Club Membership of $5 at the door, then admission to films is free.
