In this bittersweet portrait of a vanishing rural way of life, 28-year-old Dalia leaves London to check up on her ageing grandfather Igor, an expert truffle hunter in the picturesque but isolated Italian region of Piedmont. At first Igor can barely hide his resentment towards Dalia’s intrusion, and the two struggle to find common ground about anything other than Igor’s adorable truffle-hunting dog, Birba.

This is until Dalia discovers that Igor is behind on his mortgage payments and sets out into the woods with Birba in tow to find a rare and valuable truffle in the hopes of saving the family home. What ensues is a visually spectacular journey into the rarely seen Piedmont forest, where Dalia and Birba have to contend with rival truffle hunters, the dangers of the forest, and the shady agricultural industry in order to find the legendary lightning-struck truffle.

A touching story about intergenerational connection and the passing down of traditions and knowledge, with a scene-stealing performance from Birba the dog (who made its big screen debut in The Truffle Hunters), Gabriele Fabbro’s second feature film is a must for lovers of Italy, food, and dogs.

Sometimes the wrong place is right where you need to be.

From Will Packer, the blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office—including Night School, This Christmas and Think Like a Man—comes a delicious romantic comedy about one little lie, one large Italian villa, and two people getting lost in the sauce of love.

Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid, The Color Purple) stars as Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties with a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, a chance encounter with Matteo—a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany—will inspire her to jet off for Italy, against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire (Home Before Dark’s Aziza Scott).

But Anna’s plan to crash at Matteo’s villa, without permission, just for one night, falls apart when Matteo’s mother, Gabriella (Italian film icon Isabella Ferrari) shows up at the house unexpectedly. In a panic, Anna allows Gabriella to believe that she is Matteo’s fiancée.

That little lie becomes a big problem, though, when Matteo’s cousin, Michael (Regé-Jean Page; Bridgerton, Black Bag) shows up, and Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life.

The film’s international cast includes Lorenzo de Moor (The Legend Hunters) as Matteo, Marco Calvani (The Four Seasons) as an Italian taxi driver who befriends Anna and Academy Award® nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) as Anna’s house-sitting client, Mrs. Dunn.

You, Me & Tuscany is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kat Coiro (Marry Me, Matlock), from a screenplay by Ryan Engle (Rampage, Beast), based on an original idea by Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle. The film is produced by Will Packer (Girls Trip, Ride Along films) and Johanna Byer (Point Blank, executive producer Praise This) for Will Packer Productions. The executive producers are Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle.

Few modern scandals have captivated France as the astonishing events surrounding Liliane Bettencourt, the billionaire heiress to the L’Oreal fortune and doyenne of Parisian society. Now writer/director Thierry Klifa has freely adapted the incredible story into a captivating dark comedy, featuring a jaw-dropping, tailor-made role for one of France’s most iconic stars.

Marianne Farrère (Isabelle Huppert), the head of the Windler Group, is the richest woman in the world. Pierre-Alain Fantin (Laurent Lafitte) is a vivacious dandy, writer and photographer. After meeting on a photo shoot, the two quickly become inseparable. Their friendship – one where Pierre-Alain is only too happy to take financial advantage – surprises, amuses, intrigues, and eventually unsettles the billionaire’s entourage and family.

Most of all, Marianne’s daughter (Marina Fois) struggles with her mother’s sudden complicity with this younger man, but her husband (André Marcon) and loyal butler (Raphaël Personnaz) share her concerns. Surreptitious queries soon transition into a private investigation, resulting in extraordinary ramifications for all involved…

With several twists too good to spoil, THE RICHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD makes the most of its fabulous ensemble cast, but Huppert and Lafitte simply eat up the screen. This wildly entertaining film became an enormous box-office hit in France for good reason.

Cast
Isabelle Huppert, Laurent Lafitte, Marina Foïs, Raphaël Personnaz, André Marcon.

‘Check the Classification’ (CTC) message for unclassified films
The film has been assessed and approved for advertising. You should check the classification closer to the release date.

 


Proof of age

Cinemas may verify a person’s age before they provide access to an MA 15+ or R 18+ film.

Proof of age (preferably in the form of photo identification) may be requested of the person claiming to be 15 or 18, or of the parent or guardian.

When can cinemas refuse entry to an MA 15+ or R 18+ film?

Cinemas are required to abide by the MA 15+ and R 18+ age restrictions. This means refusing entry to an MA 15+ film to any person who reasonably appears to be under 15 and who is not accompanied by his or her parent or guardian.

Entry to an R 18+ film in a cinema can be refused to any person who reasonably appears to be under 18.

This also applies to tickets already purchased online.

Who qualifies as a “guardian” for a person under 15?

The “guardian” must be an adult exercising “parental control” over the person under 15 years of age. The guardian needs to be 18 years or older.

An older sibling or friend would not generally satisfy this requirement, whereas a grandparent, aunt or uncle may.

History

The Euroa Civic Centre was originally constructed in the 1930s. It first opened on 21 December 1938 and acted as a cinema (the Euroa Civic Theatre) until it ceased operation in 1982.

In 2003, the idea of restoring the Euroa Civic Hall to a cinema was proposed due to the lack of entertainment opportunities in the area, particularly for children and youth.

Strathbogie Shire Council applied and was successfully granted funding from the Victorian State Government’s Regional Arts Infrastructure Allocation – Regional Cinemas Program to upgrade the hall and install new cinema equipment. The total cost of the project was approximately $80,000 with funding provided by the State Government and Council on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

After a lot of hard work by community members and Council staff, the Euroa Community Cinema opened to a full house on Friday 14 November 2003, with the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Initially films were shown fortnightly however screenings increased after sufficient demand.

The cinema ran films on 35mm Kinoton commercial cinema equipment until it became obsolete in 2013.

In February 2014 the equipment was upgraded to Barco commercial digital cinema projection equipment. New speakers were also installed to ensure the cinema has 5.1 Dolby surround sound.

The cinema runs movies on commercial digital cinema equipment and screens movies Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, with additional screenings throughout the year including in the school holidays.

In 2021 – 2022, the cinema underwent refurbishments to the auditorium. This was made possible by Strathbogie Shire Council receiving a $130,000 grant from the Victorian State Government’s Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
The refurbishments included sanding and polishing the timber flooring in the auditorium; 160 new seats were installed with some of the historical seating remaining in the front section; the walls were painted and the curtains were cleaned. The new seating included a new floorplan that has dedicated wheelchair spaces and improved accessibility, including two rows of chairs with lift-up arm rests for people who need more room.

The old seating was given to community groups for free, including Violet Town’s St Dunstan Hall Film Society and Albury-Wodonga Theatre Company. St Dunstan’s received 2 rows (22 seats), and Albury-Wodonga Theatre Company received 13 rows (123 seats).

The retained historical seating was originally installed on the balcony when the cinema operated as The Euroa Civic Theatre.
