Screening for hall works

Pearl Beach Progress Association will be hosting a screening of Jacques Tatti's gentle comic masterpiece Monsieur Heulot's Holiday in the Pearl Beach Cafe.

The movie, starting at 7.30pm, will be preceded by a meal at 6pm.

"An enduring and endearing classic of French cinema, the film explores the minutiae of everyday life at a seaside resort," said Pearl Beach Progress Association president Ms Kay Williams.

She said it was "a tour-de-force of comic timing and acute observation of humanity, destined to leave the audience marveling at Tatti's capacity for drollery and brilliantly conceived gags".

The movie, meal and coffee tickets cost $25, with bookings essential.

Bookings can be made by contacting 4343 1222.

Proceeds go towards the building of a disabled toilet and extensions to the Pearl Beach Community Hall.
