Thurs 2nd Oct - The Pope’s Toilet


So after many weeks of hitting the Hollywood blockbusters, this week we’re lining up a return trip to the Lighthouse Cinema, for anyone who hasn’t been before - this stylish new cinema is a must! (they also do lovely popcorn)

The Popes Toilet (El Baño del Papa)

This charming and colourful work documents the wavering fortunes of a deprived Uruguayan family at the announcement of a 1988 visit by the Holy Father to their poverty-stricken village of Melo. Scraping together a meagre existence by smuggling contraband on a push-bike from a Brazilian border town, family patriarch Beto  - with thinking-cap firmly in place - decides to cash in on the potential flurry of pious activity by building a first-class latrine into which the congregants can pay to relieve themselves.

Movie starts at 8.35pm this Thursday 2nd October, so meet up in the Lighthouse Cinema Cafe from 8pm, as always the meet up spot will be marked with some PINK balloons.

Tickets can be bought online

The Lighthouse cinema is in Smithfield, and their website has directions and a map, and a google map link as well.
