DIRTY DANCING

  • The Porsche Pavilion The Mall Gardens, Clifton Village Bristol , BS8 4BH England (map)
The dancing here brings out the sensual dreaminess of the songs. ‘Dirty Dancing’ - what a great title! - is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily
— PAULINE KAEL (NEW YORKER)

CINEMA DOORS: 20:30 | FILM BEGINS: 20:45
