Cleere’s Classic Corner

Some films are just too good to see only once. Cleere’s Classic Corner celebrates a handful of terrific European films, bringing old favourites and overlooked gems back to the screen. The screen may be small, but the films are big. And there’s a bar. Possibly a sandwich. A chance to revisit a film you love — or discover one you somehow missed the first time around.
