A forged banknote changes hands and sets off a chain of events that gradually destroys a young man’s life. No dramatic twists. Just decisions and consequences stacking up. Afterwards, we’ll look at Bresson’s approach to performance and editing. The minimal delivery. The focus on hands, doors, small actions. The way emotion is kept at a distance. It’s a film that strips things back and still lands hard. Good ground for talking about control, moral weight, and how much you can remove before something stops working. Cinema // After is a new screening and discussion series at Picturehouse Liverpool, created by Let’s Make Films for anyone who loves cinema and wants to see it in new ways. Each event starts with a film that broke boundaries; visually, structurally, or emotionally. After the screening, we stay in the cinema for an interactive session led by the Let’s Make Films team. This is where we explore how the film was made, the choices behind it, and why it works the way it does. You’ll hear insights, share ideas, and take part in open conversation about the film’s craft and impact. The sessions are designed for filmmakers, writers, artists, and anyone curious about storytelling. You’ll come away with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a stronger understanding of how films can shape the way we create and think. This isn’t a lecture or a formal class. Instead, we’re creating a relaxed space for discussion, creative thinking, and learning from each other. Whether you make films yourself or simply want to deepen your love for them, Cinema // After offers a chance to watch great cinema and leave inspired with your local community. So, come and watch the film. Be part of the discussion and see stories differently.
