Looking for Eric

Fri 12 June – Thu 2 July

Dir: Ken Loach UK/France/Italy/Belgium ’09 1hr 56mins Cert 15
Loach returns to the big screen with this philosophical footballing comedy. Soccer-mad Manchester postman Eric (Steve Evets) is losing control over what little remains of his life. His wife has gone, his stepsons are wild, but it is his own secret that is driving him to the brink. Despite misplaced goodwill from his mates, he eventually has to turn for help to his hero: footballing genius Eric Cantona. Shot through with the trademark attention to character and social conscience that underpin Loach’s work, it also makes great play of Cantona’s former public persona.
The 1800hrs screening on Wed 17 June will be introduced by writer and broadcaster David Goldblatt.
