Sun 14 Mar: 'The Time Traveler's Wife' - Charlbury's film of the month

Romantic fantasy drama based on the bestselling novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Eric Bana stars as Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble, who is born with a genetic disorder that causes him involuntarily to time travel when he becomes stressed.

Though he often disappears from her life for long periods of time, he tries to build a romantic relationship with Clare Abshire, an artist (Rachel McAdams). Henry, the librarian, meets his future wife Clare when she is only six years old. Chronologically, however, he meets her for the first time when Clare is an adult but Henry is only twenty-eight. At that point Clare has known Henry all of her adult life.

The novel was a bestseller in Charlbury, a tear-jerker with no holds barred, though the film puts more emphasis on imagination and adventure and is probably a bit less weepy!

This is ChOC's film of the month, screened in the Memorial Hall at 7.30pm, our famous wine and beer bar open from 6.45. Tickets £4.50 in advance from News and Things, Cotswold Frames and Evenlode Books, or on the door.
