A Member’s Choice:
Set within a remarkable 18th Century sheltered almshouse complex hidden beside London’s River Thames, and towered over by luxury apartments and sky-scraping office blocks, Waterloo Sunset is a film about the elderly residents who live there, facing regeneration, changing society and growing old in Britain today.
This casts the spotlight on the nation’s invisible minority, who are growing in number year by year. At its centre, is the story of 74 years old crooner, Shamus, who still dreams of pop stardom. Waterloo Sunset offers hope and inspiration for the future.
