The season continues in March with 2 films the first of which, on Wednesday 13th March, is the BAFTA nominated Decision to Leave. This is followed two weeks later by the Oscar winning Women Talking.

Decision to Leave

Decision to Leave follows the mysterious death of a man in South Korea. Haunted by tons of unresolved murder cases that keep him awake at night, detective Jang Hae-Jun (Park Hae-ii) stumbles upon what seems like an accident. However, suspecting foul play, the inquisitive officer follows a faint trail of clues, trying to shed light on the mysterious death of an avid climber Ki Do-soo. Now, the deceased's cryptic wife, Seo-rae, (Tand Wei) comes under suspicion. However, something doesn't add up. Has the dark-eyed widow been toying with Hae-Jun from day one? When forbidden feelings cloud judgement, how far is Hae-Jun willing to go in the name of truth?

Women talking

Maldon Film Club's second film for March, on wednesday 27, Women Talking, , is about the women of an isolated religious community who grapple with reconciling their reality with their faith. As the story progresses we see a community of women coming together to figure out how they might move forward together to build a better world for themselves and their children. But with fear, religious belief, misogyny and the grave repercussions of rebellion getting in the way of a clear decision, the terrified women find themselves left with no alternative. They can stay and fight or leave. However, doing nothing is not an option! What will the women of this tight-knit Mennonite colony decide to do?

The season continues until May 22nd 2024 with all films being shown on Wednesdays until then. There are 4 more films to be screened in April and May including the classic Cinema Paradiso and the highly acclaimed After Love, Living and Official Competition.
