The star is Greek Pete and we meet some of his clients as well as other rent boys. The lure of easy money is balanced with some alarming encounters and a keen sense of solidarity among the boys.

Pursued by a Jew-hunting Gestapo officer the Basterds make their way to Paris leaving a trail of scalped Nazis. They plan to destroy a cinema full of top brass but the young Jewish cinema proprietress has a scheme of her own, as does the British army.

The plot thickens as we flash back to 1992 when Martel produced Girls and Suitcases, a movie Blanco directed before losing his sight. During the filming both men fall for wannabe actress Lena (Penelope Cruz) and another slower revenge is played out amid the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. On-set comedy vies with off-set melodrama as Almodovar speculates on cinema itself, on its imagery, icons and capacity for secret observation.<br /> Friday 25th September at 7.45pm<br /> Saturday 26th September at 10.45am<br /> Monday 28th September at 2pm and 7.45pm<br /> Wednesday 30th September (Big Scream) and Thursday 1st October at 7.45pm<br /> £1 off for <span class="caps">GMG</span> members</p> 2009-10-01T19:45:00Z false 99 false broken-embraces-15 5.5 2009-09-25T19:45:00Z 2009-09-25T09:20:46Z 23 Eastgate Street guildhall@gloucester.gov.uk Gloucester Guildhall GL1 1NS www.gloucester.gov.uk/guildhall true film, Gloucester Guildhall, screening guildhall.boxoffice@gloucester.gov.uk box office 2009-09-15T11:22:36Z <p>Dir: Preston Sturges<br /> (<span class="caps">USA</span> 1941. 90 mins)<br /> John L Sullivan, Hollywood&#8217;s top director of lightweight hits, wants to make a serious social statement by filming ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’, a weighty novel about life on the breadline. Unfortunately his studio is expecting a sequel to ‘Ants in Your Pants of 1939’. As he knows nothing of poverty Sullivan decides to find out by going on the road as a hobo. Soon accident, mistaken identity and imprisonment teach him that things can get a bit too real. The Coen Brothers liked this classic satirical comedy so much they stole Sullivan’s movie title.<br /> Tues 29th Sept at 7.45pm<br /> £1 off for <span class="caps">GMG</span> members</p> 2009-09-29T23:00:00Z false 100 false sullivan’s-travels-pg 5.5 2009-09-29T19:45:00Z 2009-09-25T09:20:48Z 23 Eastgate Street guildhall@gloucester.gov.uk Gloucester Guildhall GL1 1NS www.gloucester.gov,uk/guildhall true Gloucester Guildhall, Screening guildhall.boxoffice@gloucester.gov.uk 2009-09-25T15:40:37Z <p>(Coco Avant Chanel)<br /> Dir: Anne Fontaine<br /> (France 2009. 110mins)<br /> Subtitled; original language French<br /> Audrey Tatou (Amelie) is radiant as Gabrielle Chanel, illegitimate daughter of a travelling salesman who became the most iconic fashion designer of the twentieth century.
