The Devil Wears Prada 2 | Film Discussion

The Devil Wears Prada 2 for spring? Groundbreaking.

Please join us for an even-more-casual-than-usual evening discussing The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Twenty years on from the era-defining original, which earned Meryl Streep an Oscar nomination and helped launch Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt to stardom, we return to New York's cut-throat fashion industry in a new age of online journalism and cultural trend-setters.

Will this sequel live up to the highly quotable original? Have audiences lost interest in demonising 'girlbosses' and toxic work culture? And have we regressed from a time where female-led films could become pop-culture touchstones without being mired in gender politics? All these questions (and more!) that we hope to answer over a few drinks and a friendly chat.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is released in cinemas on 1 May, and will likely be showing at the Light and the Everyman. Please do find a screening that's suitable for you ahead of this event.

Etiquette
The Alexandra Arms kindly provides us significant seating space at no extra cost, so we encourage everybody to purchase a drink upon arrival. (You can also use the pub's website or scan a QR code to get food and drink delivered to the table.)

Meanwhile, we pride ourselves on lively but respectful discussions, and you are welcome to contribute as much or as little as you are comfortable. However, please do give everybody an opportunity to speak.
