FROM legends of fantasy creatures to full on crime dramas there is a film for everyone at Leighton Buzzard Theatre this week.
Blame It On Fidel (12A) is the first movie of the week, telling the story of nine-year-old Anna who is left far from pleased when her bourgeois Parisian family suddenly reinvent themselves as leftist radicals. They abandon the family pile and begin associating with bearded revolutionaries rather than ladies who lunch.
Indoctrinated in the belief that all communists are bad, Anna struggles to understand why, after returning from a trip to Latin America, her parents seem to have developed a strong social conscience, as she does her best to adapt to her strange new environment.
Starring Julie Depardieu and Stefano Accorsi, this French film with English subtitles will be screened tonight (Tuesday April 15) at 8pm.
Do not miss the multi-award-winning No Country For Old Men (15) directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
A Vietnam war veteran discovers $2million after a Texas drug deal has gone terribly wrong. His decision to abscond with the cash sets off a violent chain reaction in this brilliantly executed, stripped-down crime drama.

Screenings are at 8pm on Wednesday Thursday and Friday, April 16 to 18, with a matinee screening at 2pm on Wednesday.
From the people who brought you The Chronicles Of Narnia comes The Water Horse (PG), Jay Russell's adaptation of Dick King-Smith's children's novel.
