Review of #EmpireOfLight (2022) at #CampbeltownPictureHouse.

Superb film about a middle-aged woman (#OlviaColman) who works at a seaside cinema, holding together a spiritless 'normal' life through medication. This changes when a young Black man (#MichealWard) joins the staff. Their relationship is set against the backdrop of early 1980s racial violence.

The other main actor is the magnificent #ArtDeco cinema, with its own redemptive power.
