Bonjour, Buenos días, صباح الخير , Morgen, Good morning,

The adventure continues with Ciné Club!

You are cordially invited to the next screening: BOOK NOW!

3rdd Edition is on Wednesday 27 November at 7.00pmwe will be showing "Le Dîner de cons (1998) " de Francis Veber

| duration: 1 hours 22 minutes | Genre: Comedy |

For Pierre Brochant and his friends, Wednesday is “Idiots' Day”. The idea is simple: each

person has to bring along an idiot. The one who brings the most spectacular idiot wins the prize. Tonight, Brochant is ecstatic. He has found a gem. The ultimate idiot. “A world champion idiot!” Meet François Pignon, a lowly accountant at the Finance Ministry, a man devoted to his constructions made of match sticks... What Brochant doesn’t know is that Pignon is a real jinx, a past master in the art of bringing on catastrophes...

The subtitles for this movie try, variously, "fool", "idiot" and "asshole" - not entirely evasions these, by any means, but neither do they come to the point. Sartre had something more astringent in mind, surely, when he famously called AJ Ayer a "con". My old Faber edition of Waiting for Godot, in Beckett's English version, has the line Les gens sont les cons rendered as "People are bloody ignorant apes", a translation that presumably pleased the Lord Chamberlain, if no one else." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
