Prepare to be swept off your feet by three special screenings, part of BFI’s UK-wide season ‘Too Much: Melodrama on Film’. Each ticket will include a limited-edition art print inspired by the film, created by local artist, Zilja Brøndum-Eklund. Join us at all three screenings to collect the full set!

One of director Douglas Sirk's best and most successful romantic melodramas of the 1950s, All That Heaven Allows movingly portrays a May-December romance between an attractive widow, Cary, and handsome gardener-landscaper, Ron. Exceedingly lonely since her husband's death, Cary throws conventional behaviour to the wind by pursuing a romance with a younger man, who is unjustly perceived as a fortune-hunter by Cary's friends and family - especially her priggish son Ned.

These screenings are supported by the BFI Film Audience Network, awarding funding on behalf of the BFI National Lottery.
