The French Connection

Sunday 20 & Wednesday 23 August, 2023

To mark the passing of the great director William Friedkin (The Exorcist, 1973), we’re screening his 1971 crime thriller The French Connection. A commercial and critical success, it has since been viewed by many as one of the greatest films ever made and has remained an important influence on many directors to follow Friedkin. David Fincher, Steven Spielberg and Akira Kurosawa have all cited it as having an impact on their work.

It follows tough narcotics detective ‘Popeye’ Doyle who is in hot pursuit of a suave French drug dealer who may be the key to a huge heroin-smuggling operation.
