A YEAR OF FILMS: Comedy and Christmas

The latest session of our book clubs has been dedicated to a very particular genre: CHRISTMAS.  The arrival of this time of the year brings an atmosphere of charm and magic, which is well reflected in books and films. These special stories transport us to worlds of glistening snow, twinkling lights and warm hearts as we explore beloved characters and cherished values that illuminate the Christmas spirit. So our chosen stories have been "The snowman" by Raymond Briggs, "The little match girl" by Hans Christian Andersen and "A Christmas carol" by Charles Dickens, all of them timeless and tender. But we wanted to take a step beyond, inviting the British comedian Rowan Atkinson (better known as Mr. Bean) to see his peculiar vision of Christmas. And the experience has been hilarious!

Now enjoy the TRAILER we have prepared and the video sent by our favorite librarian, Lilí. Very many thanks to the library in Los Rosales for their invaluable collaboration!
