Friday 12th June: SONG SUNG BLUE

Overview
Song Sung Blue is a biographical musical drama based on the true story of Mike and Claire Sardina, a husband-and-wife duo who performed as a Neil Diamond tribute act. Directed by Craig Brewer and inspired by Greg Kohs’ documentary, the film stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson alongside a supporting cast including Michael Imperioli and Ella Anderson.

Plot Summary
Mike and Claire are two struggling musicians who meet and bond over their shared love of music. Together, they form a Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder.

Their partnership grows into both a successful stage career and a romantic relationship, taking them from small local performances to wider recognition. But as their fame rises, they face serious personal and emotional challenges that test their relationship and resilience.

Themes
Love and Partnership:
A story of two people finding connection later in life and building something meaningful together.

Resilience and Second Chances:
The film focuses on rebuilding life and chasing dreams, even after setbacks.

Music and Identity:
It explores how music can shape identity, bring people together, and offer purpose through difficult times.

Why See It?
With well-known leads and a story grounded in real life, Song Sung Blue offers a mix of music, emotion, and character-driven drama. It stands out for its focus on ordinary people finding meaning through creativity and connection, rather than following a typical celebrity biopic path.

🕢 matinee (2.30) and evening (7.30) showings. Doors open half an hour before the performances start.

🍫 Refreshments available. Bring your friends, grab a seat, and enjoy a great night out in the heart of the village.

💷 Tickets: £5 at Mitchells News Agents, Blofield or online here.

TRAILER

What is Village Screen?

Village Screen is a rural community cinema scheme providing quality film screenings in community venues throughout Norfolk. Volunteer groups screen the latest blockbuster or a timeless classic in the comfort of their local village hall or community centre, supported by Creative Arts East with films licensed through Moviola. The events offer an opportunity for neighbours to meet, socialise and relax – less travel and lower cost means many rural residents can enjoy the magic of the silver (or in our case, white) screen.


How's it work at the Court House?

Run by volunteers, we been showing the best of current films to the village since 2009. We screen films about 8 times a year (February to June and September to November), usually on the second Friday of the month, with matinee (2.30) and evening (7.30) showings. Doors open half an hour before the performances start.


After a brief welcome, we usually show a trailer for the next film and a short film or two, and take  a break for refreshments before the main feature. We serve tea, coffee, cakes and Ronaldo's locally produced  ice cream in the afternoon and wine, beer, soft drinks and ice cream in the evening. The shows normally finish around 4.45 in the afternoon and 9.45 in the evening depending on the length of the main film.


How do I get a ticket?

Tickets are £5.00 in advance available about a month before the show from S&S Mitchell Newsagents, The Street, Blofield. Please note that return tickets cannot be accepted less than 7 days before event. Money from the films goes towards paying the licence fees, running the Court House and improving our facilities.


How can I find out what's on?
