The Man In The Hat
Event description
STEPHEN WARBECK, JOHN-PAUL DAVIDSON | 2020 | 95 MINS | UK
Rated PG
Ciarán Hinds shines in the most relaxed chase film you'll ever see.
The Man In The Hat sets off from Marseilles in a small Fiat 500. On the seat beside him is a framed photograph of an unknown woman. Behind him is a Citroen 2CV into which are squeezed Five Bald Men. Why are they chasing him? And how can he shake them off?
As he travels North through France, he encounters razeteurs, women with stories to tell, bullfights, plenty of delicious food, a damp man, mechanics, nuns, a convention of Chrystallographers and much more, coming face to face with the vivid eccentricities of an old country.
"France looks beautiful from a Fiat 500 in this picturesque fantasy about a man on the (very slow) run" - The Guardian.
