Bastille Day Celebrations at the State Library

RNIS was invited to the movie by the City of Melbourne.

We talk about the movie and about the exciting event in Melbourne.

On the 18th and the 19th of July there were Bastille day celebrations in Melbourne. Here there were stalls and some French music. Because the event was in the state library there were no food stalls except for the stall that sold macarons and Perrier water by the Bastille Day volunteers. I didn't need to buy the Perrier water and the macarons as these were supplied to the movie goers.

The macaron is from Cacao and was quite a joy to eat. Cacao's macarons are always lovely. The movie was normally $10.

The French Film was quite long and very entertaining. The actors and actress were all excellent as all the French actors are. The film was in black and white and was very dramatic at times. There was a shootout towards the end. The film was set just before the second world war in the Countryside in Paris. It is sort of like Romeo and Juilet where two families (in this case gangs) of people fight with each other about money and all. It features a lot of drinking and gambling and paying off the debts and rent.

Many thanks to the City of Melbourne for the invite.
