The Cinemas of the Mind Club meets on the second Monday of the month for a free post-screening discussion facilitated by Dr Jake Harvey, a forensic psychiatrist, and Jenny Leeburn, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, focussing on the psychological aspects of the film and the emotional impact on the viewer.
The discussions are open to everyone – all perspectives, views and ideas are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
The club meets shortly after the film screening, usually in the Studio, and discussions last for up to an hour.
Love Me Tender (CINECITY)
Monday 10 November, 17:30
At the outset of Love Me Tender, Clémence moves confidently through her world, balancing the discipline of daily swims and writing sessions alongside casual sexual encounters, and co-parenting her son Paul. But after revealing her queer identity to her ex-husband, Clémence faces a legal fight to maintain the bond with her child without compromising her autonomy.
Adapted from the semi-autobiographical novel by Constance Debré and nominated for the Queer Palm at Cannes 2025, the film is anchored by a compelling performance from Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread and Corsage).
