‘Hoiy Lola
Open your hearts to the magnificent Renault French Film Festival, which runs all this month and includes such
tasty morsels as the comedy of sexual manners Cockles & Muscles, Denis Tanovic’s Hell and Dominik Moll’s Lemming. The highlight, however, has to be the wonderful Bertrand Tavernier retrospective, and the man himself will also be around to introduce his new film Holy Lola, about adoption in south-east Asia. Both screenings of this film are
followed by Q&As.
