On Thursday the 15th August at 6pm, WFS will be screening the dramatic comedy, The Great Escaper, the final film in the careers of both Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson.
Our 8pm screening is the inspiring French film, Divertimento, a heart-warming tale of Zahia Ziouani, an Algerian immigrant growing up in Paris, whose love for music inspires her to try to join the French National orchestra.
THE GREAT ESCAPER
UK/FRANCE, 2023, Comedic Drama
96 mins, Rated M
Cast: Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson
This heart warming story is based on the life British World War II Navy veteran, Bernard Jordan.
The year is 2014 and with commemorations due to take place for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, Bernie is heartbroken. He's in no condition to attend as he is about to turn 90 and living out his days in a nursing home in Suffolk.
Undeterred, Bernie hatches a plan to break out of his nursing home to secretly attend the ceremony in France to give a heartfelt goodbye to a fallen friend. Along the way, he's aided by strangers, makes new friends and the news of his "escape" makes him an international sensation.
Beautiful, enchanting and sublimely performed. - IMDB

No appointment is necessary when coming to a Service Desk. However, if you need a JP outside of these Service Desk hours, you will need to find one by going to justiceofthepeace.org.nz. Use the Quick Find function by typing in a/your suburb and clicking "Search". This will bring up a list of Justices of the Peace in that location with their contact details and availability. You will then need to contact the JP and arrange an appointment.
