The L-Shaped Room (1962)
THU 21 DEC
Coming Soon to
Academy Cinemas
Playing as part of Academy's Christmas programme this December!
In an Academy Award nominated performance, Leslie Caron (GIGI) portrays Jane, a young pregnant French girl who moves to a seedy boarding house in London for a new start. Beautiful and withdrawn, Jane slowly gets to know the other residents of the house who, like her, are social outsiders in their own way. As she falls into a relationship with Toby (Tom Bell) a struggling young writer who lives on the first floor, and befriends Johnny (Brock Peters, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) a black jazz musician, Jane finds a new reason to live. She considers getting an abortion, but is unhappy with this solution. Eventually she comes to like her odd L-Shaped room, but still faces two problems: what to do with her baby, and what to do with Toby.
Based on the hugely successful book, written by Lynne Reid Banks, THE L-SHAPED ROOM is a British classic, written and directed by Bryan Forbes (WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND THE RAGING MOON).
