Charcha Film Club: "American Psycho - satire over reality"

THIS WEEK: “AMERICAN PSYCHO - SATIRE OVER REALITY”

A personal note:
“Why another film club?” You may ask.

Talking about a film can never replace watching one...never.

But I've found that when watching a film, a little context can go a long way.

So I’ve decided to create a film club in the hope that there are other people out there who feel the same; who will enjoy exploring their own perspectives as well as others beyond justifying why you like or dislike a film.

There is no judgement of films here. A-movie, B-movie, high-brow, low-brow, smart, dumb.

This will be an open-discussion. There’ll be themes and certain films chosen but respectful interruptions and questions will be welcome throughout.

To paraphrase Bong Joon-ho, once you overcome your knee-jerk judgement of a film, you can be introduced to so many more amazing films.

This is a new meetup and the format may change. But for now, we will not show whole films at the event. Instead they will be announced beforehand and then discussed with clips at the event.

ALSO BRING YOUR OWN CLIPS! If you have a clip from a film you think is relevant in any way, there will be time to watch it and discuss it with the group. If it’s a youtube link or any other site, we can bring it up on the projector. Or you can send it to me privately (meetup or WhatsApp 622229697) or to our WhatsApp group beforehand (https://chat.whatsapp.com/DVL01x0sUYH2ZeZ5FDfUaI?mode=gi_t) so that I can have it prepared.

Love films beyond just “watching” them?

Charcha Cinema is a relaxed social gathering for people who enjoy cinema, storytelling, visuals, music, strange scenes, beautiful moments, and discussing why certain films stay with us long after they end.

The evening is divided into two parts:
🍿 Part 1 — Featured Film Discussion
The host - Alex, will present selected clips and scenes from a chosen movie, opening conversations around:

• cinematography
• themes & symbolism
• acting choices
• sound & music
• hidden details
• interpretations & reactions

No film-school knowledge needed — just curiosity and opinions.
☕ Break
🎥 Part 2 — Open Screen
Bring a clip you love (or hate).
Participants are welcome to share scenes from films they’d like to discuss with the group:

• masterpieces
• cult classics
• guilty pleasures
• weird discoveries
• unforgettable moments

A casual space for cinema lovers, creatives, overthinkers, and curious people.
🎟️ Limited spots of max 15 for a more intimate discussion atmosphere.
