Ciné ClubOne of the most outrageous comic films to have been made in France in the 1980s, Le Père Noël est une ordure has since matured (as a fine wine might) into one of that country's most highly regarded cult classics. Come be part of the Ciné Club - for French and film lovers alike. Every third Tuesday of the month for just $7 you can enjoy a new a French film, a French reception with wine and hors-d'oeuvres afterward, as well as the opportunity to speak French. About the film - One Christmas Eve, the staff of "SOS Détresse", a Paris-based social services team, have their hands full. Unaware that their colleague Madame Musquin is trapped in the elevator, Pierre and Thérèse man the phones and try to console the capital's depressed and distressed. An obviously pregnant woman, Zézette, suddenly arrives at their office, demanding sanctuary from her violent husband, Félix, who is close behind her. Pierre and Thérèse eventually manage to subdue Félix - who is still dressed in his working clothes as a street Father Christmas - and he ends up in hospital. Pierre then receives a personal visit from one of his clients, Katia, a manic transvestite who thinks he/she has found Mr Right.
