NEXT week’s offering at Southampton University’s The Phoenix is French classic I’ve Loved You So Long.

Kristin Scott Thomas excels as a woman struggling to interact with her family and find her place in society after spending fifteen years in prison.

Understated but with an emotional punch, the film has a stunning central performance: a range of conflicting emotions flicker through expressive eyes and gaunt, pale features.

It shows on Wednesday.
