Four Weddings and a Funeral [1994] 15

Join us at Grosvenor's Summer in the Square festival and the very first year of the Grosvenor Film Festival in association with Chesterton Humberts.

“I think I had better be where other people are not.”

With a homegrown cast to die for, and a cultural phenomenon on release, Hugh Grant brings intelligence and warmth to his archetypal bumbling Englishman, doing the rounds of the summer weddings and falling for the glamorous American (Andie MacDowell).

Fondly regarded as a true gem of British comedy - and twenty years young this year! - this serves up exactly what it says on the tin as it charts the escapades of Charles (with friends including Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow and John Hannah) as he pursues the elusive and bewitching American Carrie through five social jaunts.

From the hilarious profanity-infused opening scene, to Gareth’s supposition that getting engaged is really just a couple’s deviation from an awkward silence – “The ultimate ice breaker” – this is full of classic comedy moments and insights on the institution of marriage in 90’s Britain. Seen by many as the magnum opus of Rom-Com Royalty Richard Curtis, you can expect a multi-tiered sweet treat, but with a nice dry British bite to it.

Whether you bring a special someone or it’s a girls night out, this will be a truly splendid occasion... Cubitt House, responsible for perennially popular restaurants including The Thomas Cubitt (Elizabeth Street) and The Grazing Goat (Marble Arch) will be on site from 8pm, serving up top gastro-pub food, popcorn and a selection of drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) from a Vintage Citroen H Van.
