What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Imagine a place where waterfalls are made of creamy chocolate, and where you can lick the wallpaper and it tastes like blueberries, strawberries and snozzberries! All this and more is possible in confectionary king Willy Wonka's amazing chocolate factory. But be careful with your manners - you wouldn't want to end up in the fudge room or, worse yet, the toffee-stretching room! Author Roald Dahl's classic story comes to life in this entrancing film from director Tim Burton.
