SCREENING OF THE FILM "THE BOUNTY"

Screening of the film "The Bounty" at the Le Mondial cinema
Saturday, October 24 at 6 PM, at the Le Mondial cinema in Collioure.
Free entry for the first 60 spectators!

The association Les Amis de Patrick O’Brian invites you to discover "The Bounty", a great maritime adventure film inspired by a true story.

Why this film?
The writer penned 22 of his novels in Collioure, including the 20 volumes of the famous Aubrey/Maturin series, nicknamed "L’Aubreyade".
The film also mentions Sir Joseph Banks, a prominent English scientist of the 18th century, to whom Patrick O’Brian dedicated a critically acclaimed biography, written in Collioure in 1987.

President of the Royal Society, Banks initiated an expedition to transport breadfruit plants from Polynesia to the Caribbean to feed slaves and workers on sugar plantations. He chose Lieutenant William Bligh to command this mission.
The second of three films dedicated to this story, The Bounty stands out for its historical accuracy, the quality of its direction, and the performances of its actors.
A wonderful opportunity to dive into maritime history and discover an overlooked aspect of Patrick O’Brian’s universe!
