The premise of this film reminds me of House!, a very obscure film from 2000 which also involved a Welsh setting with a lady trying to save an establishment dear to her.
Wish we could get Welsh stories delivered through mainstream film and media actually in Cymraeg instead of living in a country where the mere mention of Welsh language media paralyses the rest of the country with confusion and refusal.

@@henriashurst-pitkanen8735 There was plenty of that once upon a time, but no-one was interested. I screened plenty of great Welsh language films in my cinema days (Rhosyn a Rhith, Hedd Wyn, Branwen, Cameleon, Angry Earth, etc) but everyone wanted Hollywood. Most of these films were from S4C's film distribution arm, but now are held by the archive in Aberystwyth.
As someone from that area I thought the Carmarthen accents were fine 🤷♂ Not everyone in Wales sounds like the characters from Gavin & Stacey. Lovely film, very nostalgic.
Fantastic film about a cinema close to my heart, this is the real deal for us locals that remember the fight, not the Carmarthen accent I know, more of a Gavin and Stacey sound but hey so what, great film.
May watch this just to see how cheesy it really is. :) I've seen The Smallest Show on Earth several times. Its great. In the UK Talking Pictures show it fairly often.
I did all the flower arrangements for this film! 😁⚘
Aww that's lovely! You did a great job🥰👍🏻
@@sukkahiki666 Thank you!
Simon actually guessed a film, and that YES! from Mark was so satisfying.

It is a remake of the Welsh language version 'Y Lyric' shown on S4C in 1997

ehhhhhh no, it’s very clear that they’re overplaying their accents. Which becomes annoying and very distracting.
Trouble with the Welsh accent is you make one wrong inflection or the wrong emphasis on a consonant and it falls apart very quickly.
In the UK they "lace" up the projector, in the US we "thread" up the projector. Or rather, did.
So it's Cinema Paradiso if it had been made by the Hallmark Channel.
Well they certainly were "inspired" by Ennio Morricone's score

Samantha Mortons accent is dire! Welsh via Pakistan and Jamaica!
I think it's pretty good. The Carmarthenshire accent isn't the easiest and there's not many examples of it in the media.
Disagree entirely, her Welsh accent was one of the best things about the film
Liz Evans is Wynne Evans mother. What do you make of Wynne's accent?
I wish filmmakers would ease up on the emotional music
Not sure about the dodgy Welsh accents. It's not like there's a shortage of great Welsh actors who should have been cast instead.
There is a wide range of Welsh accents in Carmarthen these days: they aren't all bois y beudy anymore. Perhaps you should visit one day.
Umm Jonathan Pryce is Welsh
Shock, it’s not a doco on current state of cinema?
A heart warming film, but the ending is abrupt and rushed.
Metion of cheese has me heading to fridge..........thanks 🙄
