Next month British comedy Allelujah will arrive in UK Cinemas, Pathe UK have sent us a new clip.
The film is directed by Richard Eyre (Notes on A Scandal, Iris) based on stage play by Alan Bennett (The Lady in The Van). This is a warm, humorous, and deeply moving story about surviving old age. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back.
Last week on The Graham Norton Show on BBC (17th February), the clip below was premiered. In that clip which features Judi Dench and Bally Gill. In that clip we find the doctor (Bally) explaining technology to Mary (Dench).
When the geriatric ward of a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community. They invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong? ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand. But in the midst of the tears and the laughter, we slowly realise that there is something threatening the hospital that is far more lethal than the politicians demanding efficiency at any cost…
The film also stars Jennifer Saunders , Derek Jacobi, David Bradley, Julia McKenzie, Russell Tovey  and Bally Gill.Â
Allelujah is set to open in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 17th March. Could this film be the surprise film at the Glasgow Film Festival?
