“As wish fulfilment fantasy, ‘Notting Hill’ is pretty hard to beat. And as romantic comedy, it stomps all over the anaemic efforts that have been populating screens of late [...] Curtis, Kenworthy and Grant have hit upon the magic formula once again, proving that sometimes it’s the simple, unfussy entertainment that comes off best. Expect a lot of people to go home very happy”
CINEMA DOORS: 20:30 | FILM BEGINS: 20:45
Join Bristol Film Festival at Clifton Summer Screenings!
Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - this is an outdoor experience that’s not to be missed.
To conclude Saturday evening, we’re celebrating 25 years of Richard Curtis’ hilarious BAFTA-nominated hit Notting Hill. Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts shine in this tale of unlikely love, and the Mall Gardens’ idyllic setting may put you in mind of one of the film’s more romantic moments, without the stress of having a “whoopsie-daisy” moment getting (literally) stuck on the fence…
