I used to go to the cinema at the Renoir a lot when I lived in London. It's in the Brunswick centre; a 60s housing estate and shoppng centre at Russell Square. It used to be pretty undown with most of the shops empty. A few years ago it underwent a complete overhaul. The concrete estate has been cleaned up and looks great. The shopping centre is now mega busy and simply looks like any other High St. I think I prefered it when it was slightly shabby. The Renoir however hasn't changed and looks just as fine.
I saw this French film and thought it was pretty excellent.
what a fantastic, cool facade! i don't think i've ever been.
