White Wall Cinema: ONE FINE DAY

Join us for an evening celebrating and reappraising one of cinema’s most beloved but misunderstood genres, the Romantic Comedy. On the night we’ll be hosting a special in person Q&A with author and film critic (Empire, BBC Radio, Huffington Post, Total Film, Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch), & founder of the Bechdel Test Film Fest, straight from her event at London Film Festival, Corrina Antrobus.

In her new beautifully illustrated book*, she examines Rom Coms with a Feminist eye and highlights the (perhaps unexpectedly) positive contributions to feminism many of your favourites have made. From Harold & Maude to Notting Hill to Barbie, we discuss her joyous Rom Com feminist manifesto, followed by a screening of a true underrated gem of the genre, ‘One Fine Day’. 

The film takes an almost classical 30s style romantic comedy approach fusing it with the aesthetics of a 1996 rainy New York as two working parents juggle kids and the corporate world. Led by two generational talents in Michelle Pfeifer and George Clooney (in full Cary Grant mode) it is a surprisingly witty affair with sharp dialogue and a refreshing honesty about parenthood and dating that all adds up to a big warm hug of a movie with a surprising dose of sophistication.
