Named Best Director at this year’s Cannes for this film, Sofia Coppola presents an exquisitely crafted drama set in a small all-girls boarding school during the American Civil War.

Colin Farrell plays a wounded Yankee soldier who is discovered, nursed and sheltered by the small community of two teachers and five schoolgirls. As he is brought back to strength, the soldier manipulates the situation to his advantage oblivious to the fact that he is a pigeon among cats.

‘It’s the kind of movie that lingers on in your head, just like the best fairy tales.’

Special Introduction

Join us on before the screening on Thu 10 Aug for a special introduction from Dr Fiona Handyside, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies and French at University of Exeter.

Fiona Handyside is the author of Sofia Coppola: A Cinema of Girlhood (I B Tauris, 2017). In this brief introduction, she will discuss Coppola’s career to date, her amazing success as a female director (culminating in winning Best Director at Cannes for The Beguiled) and what intriguing new directions this film promises.  

*CAPTION SUBTITLED

Sunday’s screening will be caption subtitled. Captioning is a service for hearing-impaired or deaf people.

Exeter Phoenix will provide caption subtitled screenings of films when possible. These screenings have a transcription of the film’s dialogue in English along the bottom of the screen and a description of the sound in the film is also included in these captions. Further caption subtitled films can be found here >>

Our programme also contains many films subtitled into English from other languages. These may also be suitable for deaf or hearing-impaired customers but won’t always include additional descriptions of sounds. These films can be found here >>
