“A LANDMARK film, this Welsh language piece is a perfectly realised gem, an absolute must see.”
Back by popular demand! If you missed Effi o Blaenau the other week, there is another opportunity to see this amazing film.
Yn ôl oherwydd y galw mawr! Os gwnaethoch chi fethu 'Effi o Blaenau' yr wythnos diwethaf mae cyfle i weld y ffilm wych hon. Mae'r ffilm yn Gymraeg gydag is-deithlau Saesneg.
Based on Gary Owen's much lauded and widely performed monodrama, Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau is director Marc Evans cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales.
The film follows Effi, a young woman who learns firsthand the personal costs of our societal shortcomings. Grappling with her weekly loop of unemployment, clubbing and hangovers, Effi has a chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, briefly opening a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.
In Welsh, with English subtitles.
Yn seiliedig ar fonodrama enwog a chanmoladwy Gary Owen, Iphigenia in Splott, mae Effi o Blaenau yn ddehongliad sinematig gan y cyfarwyddwr Marc Evans, wedi’i osod yn erbyn tirweddau eang Gogledd Cymru.
Wrth i Effi ddygymod â’i chylch wythnosol o ddiweithdra, clybio, a chur pen, mae’n digwydd cwrdd â Lee, milwr wedi’i anafu, mewn clwb nos yn Llandudno, sydd am eiliad yn agor y drws i rywbeth gwell. Am funud, mae Effi’n cael cipolwg ar fywyd na fuasai hi erioed wedi’i ddychmygu. Mae’r realiti sy’n dilyn yn llawer anos.
