Her plans are met with enthusiasm in some quarters – quiet\, elderly recluse Mr Brundish and spirited\, working-class young Christine – but treacherously polite opposition from the majority. The radical new literature that she stocks\, Nabokov’s  Lolita and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451\, is the stuff of subversiveness. A period film about British provincial life that is written and directed by maverick Catalan filmmaker Isabel Coixet\, it’s brimming with ideas\, not least the timely notion that a world without books is an unpleasant\, narrow-minded place to be. \nCert: PG \nRunning time: 113 mins \n  \n URL:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/the-bookshop-12a-2/ LOCATION:United Kingdom GEO:55.378051;-3.435973 CATEGORIES:Borderlines Film Festival,Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/The-Bookshop.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
