The Damned United, the next movie in the Kootenay Gallery’s Monday Night at the Movies series, will be shown on Oct 26 at 7 p.m. at the Kootenay Centre Cinemas. Based on a novel by David Pearce, it’s an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek homage to English football in the 70s, with the same appeal to current audiences of Bend it Like Beckham and can definitely be enjoyed without knowledge of English football.
Michael Sheen stars as Brian Clough, now revered as one of the greatest English football managers, in his new role as manager of the Leeds United Football Club. Prior to this, he had successfully brought Derby’s team to new heights with the aid of his right hand man, Peter Taylor. Their philosophy is that the beautiful game “must be played beautifully.”
Singles are $9 each. Doors open at 6.30 p.m.
