Review

Trailer

Every year Max  a successful restaurant owner invites his family and friends to his beautiful beach house.  But this year true feelings and the little white lies start to surface. Are the French the only people who make this type of film anymore? Sometimes a bit indulgent but it seems to be a love it or hate it type of film.  Stars Marion Cotillard oscar winner for La Vie En Rose.

Review

Murray Kerr is a film maker from Hitchin who lives and works in Nepal. He's in Europe visitng the Danish Film Institiute and wanted to screen his latest film in his home town.  Happy to help.

Sick City is a high octane adrenaline charged ride into the dark heart of Katmandu.  Shot entirely on location, set between sunset and sunrise, this is a gritty realistic depiction of life on the edge through the eyes of a young hustler called Krishna.  Depending on his instincts to survive he is quick to act yet slow to think.  Is this his fatal flaw, can he avoid his destiny?

Murray Kerr will introduce the fim and answer questions after the showing.

Donnie Darko - 25th Jan, CFA

(15), 2001, USA

Director: Richard Kelly

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell

Review

Just occasionally we decide to show a cult film on the big screen. So now is your chance to see this one.

A brilliant mix of black humour, horror, time travel and love story.  Troubled teenager Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is plagued by visions of a giant, evil rabbit, predicting the end of the world.

But this is not the stereotyoical film making associated with this genre in any sense.  You'll be left wondering...
