This event is in the past.
Memorial Hall, Charlbury 7.30pm, doors and bar open 6.45.
Cert 15. Duration 2hrs.
Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. A tense but humorous political thriller, among the best.
Ben Affleck directs and stars.
For 100 minutes, 'Argo' is close to flawless. Time Out
This is a watchable, enjoyable film, with some hilarious and nail-biting moments. The Guardian
Rarely do serious films allow themselves to be this funny, and given the results here it's hard not to wonder why: Argo's thriller and comedy elements work together deliciously well. Daily Telegraph
