September - 'Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet'

1/10/2016

1 Comment

 
We watched another episode in the Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads series.  This time it was be Miss Fozard Finds Her Feet, a monologue by Patricia Routledge.  It was interesting to compare this with the previous episode we had watched – Bed Among the Lentils.
 
It was interesting to see how characters can be created via a monologue.  Patricia Routledge created the different characters by voice changes and head movements, actually acting the characters.  There were three characters in particular that she showed really strongly using these techniques – her brother and two chiropodists in her life. 
 
Through the script we also gained a good picture of Miss Fozzard herself.  She was a bit naïve, at least at first, but was cautious about younger people who she thought did not have much experience and so were not necessarily capable.  The setting was also well suited to the monologue.  For example, after her brother has a second stroke, we see her looking out with rain running down the window, representing the bleakness of the situation.  Through her words we can “see” her brother sitting in his chair staring into space.  All of this showed how clever Alan Bennett’s script is, and how well Patricia Routledge interprets the words.
 
Next month we will be watching an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, starring Sarah Parish, Damian Lewis, Billie Piper and Tom Ellis.  Everyone is welcome to join us.  Anyone familiar with the Shakespeare Play may be particularly interested in this film.

    About our Film Discussion Group

    Do you enjoy watching films?  Do you find discussing films adds to your enjoyment?   Do you find that you can better understand a movie by hearing and sharing thoughts about the film?  We certainly do.  At our Film Discussion  classes we discuss a film we have watched during the month. In 2022:
    • We will select a film screening at BPACC
    • Participants will attend the film at a time that works with their individual commitments
    • We will meet in the Library on the 2nd Wednesday at 2 pm to discuss the film
    • If a participant cannot attend a specific film, they can come along to learn about the film, or add to the discussion by talking about another film they have seen.
    BPACC sell books of ten tickets for $99.50 (Meaning the films only cost $9.995 each) or I will have individual tickets available for $9.95 from a book prepurchased.
