Muriel Box is Britain’s most prolific female director. The Passionate Stranger is a highly satirical takedown of romantic novel tropes that feels decades ahead of its time. On 9 June there is a post-film discussion with Melanie Williams & @norloll thegardencinema.co.uk/film/the-passi…
Who doesn't enjoy an encounter with a passionate stranger? Very much looking forward to this on Sunday (part of The Garden Cinema 'Women Aren't Funny' season that launches tonight 🥳) Some tickets for this brill Muriel Box film still available! thegardencinema.co.uk/film/the-passi…
