I would expect this film to be shown in my local cinema of Ilkley because its quite a sophisticated and complex film which would be suited towards the local community which is quite aged and upper class. the film has a very mature and elegant feel to it which would appeal to the older audiences which are very present in my local town of Ilkley

The film is available online and on DVD as well as this it is occasionally shown in independent cinemas such as Ilkley Cinema.
