You know a good thing when you see it.

So you’ll swoon for DailyCandy Movies & Shakers, a new bimonthly event that allows you to see films before they are released. The screenings are open only to DailyCandy London subscribers and are completely free.

Our first: the much-awaited Chéri, directed by Stephen Frears, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend and Kathy Bates. Set in pre-WWI Paris, it’s the story of a love affair between ex-courtesan Léa and Chéri, son of her rival, Madame Peloux.

Chéri isn’t officially out until 8 May, but DailyCandy London subscribers can catch it at a private screening on 7 May, at 6:45 p.m., at Charlotte Street Hotel, with Firefly drinks and Lola’s Kitchen cupcakes in hand. Space is limited and it’s first come, first served.

So be there.

Or be screen with envy.
