We Need To Talk About Kevin is an emotional thriller, based on the Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar) and starring Tilda Swinton.
Eva puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin. The relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years. When Kevin is 15, he does something irrational and unforgivable in the eyes of the entire community. Eva grapples with her own feelings of grief and responsibility. Did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?
“This is a story in which a high school massacre occurs, without it being the main event. In her novel — the inspiration for our film — Lionel Shriver directs our attention, rather, to the volcanic possibilities of disconnected parenting.”
Tilda Swinton.
We Need to Talk About Kevin will be shown at Bridport Arts Centre Sunday 22 January, 3pm, Thursday 26 January, 1.30pm & 7.30pm. Tickets cost £6 Adults/£5 members and concessions.
