Mother
Joon-ho Bong, 2010
Run Time: 128 mins.
One of this years movie going musts. Korean director Bong’s (The Host) remarkable film tells the story of a nameless mother who discovers that her 27 year old son, who suffers from learning difficulties, has been arrested for the murder of a young girl. Trusting no one she obsessively sets out to find the girls real killer and prove her son's innocence. Bong Joon-Ho, without doubt one of the coolest international filmmakers working today, has created a full- blooded, constantly inventive movie, a combination of dazzling cinematic craft, psychological insight and black humor.
Thur 9th, Fri 10th & Sat 11th September (8.30pm)
Exit Through The Gift Shop
Banksy, 2010
Run Time: 87 mins.
The film tells the story of the apparent friendship between Banksy and one of his biggest fans, one Thierry Guetta, an LA-based Frenchman with a passion for making videos. Guetta became fascinated with the LA street art scene, followed the artists around and shot miles of unusable video in the hope of making a documentary. Eventually he seems to have made the acquaintance of Banksy himself. The twist in the tale comes when Banksy turns into the filmmaker, while Guetta decides to become an artist under the name Mr. Brainwash (MBW) The resulting faux documentary is both priceless and hilarious
Thur 16th, Fri 17th & Sat 18th September (8.30pm)
I Am Love
Luca Guadagnino, 2010
Run Time: 120 mins.
I Am Love, co-written and directed by Luca Guadagnino and produced by and starring Tilda Swinton is a lush, operatic Italian drama about a clannish family of wealthy Milanese industrialists. Swinton gives a tour de force performance as Emma Recchi, the Russian-born wife of the heir to the Recchi business. An adoring and attentive mother, whose existence is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with her husband’s friend and partner, unleashing a chain of events that leads to a shattering tragedy.
Thur 23rd, Fri 24th & Sat 25th September (8.30pm)
Trash Humpers
Harmony Korine, 2010
Run Time: 78 mins.
Harmony Korine, the enfant- terrible writer/director who gave us Kids and Julien Donkey-Boy returns with Trash Humpers, a freaky despatch from America's rancid subculture. Shot on analogue video and presented as a “found” video artefact the film opens with a shot of elderly citizens dry-humping garbage bins in the midle of the night. The cast is Korine and co in wrinkly makeup, whose antics include peeping, vandalism and dragging baby dols around on bikes. The result is an 80 minute assault on your sensibilities, part avant-garde nightmare, part anti-nature documentary, horribly funny and fascinating.
Thur 30th, Fri 1st & Sat 2nd October (8.30pm)
Tetro
Francis Ford Coppola, 2010
Run Time: 127 mins.
Forced by financial woes to make other peoples movies for years Francis Ford Coppola makes a superb return to form with this intriguing and poetic journey into a troubled sibling relationship. On leave in Buenos Aires, 18 year-old Bennie Tetrocini seeks out his estranged brother Angelo, now going by the name Tetro. Idealising his sibling as an artistic genius, Bennie finds an unfinished play Tetro has written about their domineering father. Then all hell breaks loose. Funny, haunting, strange and striking in equal measure, Tetro reconfirms Coppola as one of the great American filmmakers.
Thur 7th, Fri 8th & Sat 9th October (8.30pm)
Beeswax
Andrew Bujalski, 2010
Run Time: 100 mins.
The godfather of Mumblecore, Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha & Mutual Appreciation) writes and directs this gentle, funky comedy about outsider twenty something’s living in Austin, Texas, trying to survive their life crisis problems while taking time to help each other. Beeswax revolves around a petty dispute between the patrons of a vintage clothing store as the clandestine Amanda plans to take the disabled Jeanie to court. This being Mumblecore it’s an acquired taste, there isn't much more of a plot, yet it's a poignant, funny and subtle film about the mundane realities of everyday life in contemporary America.
Thur 14th, Fri 15th & Sat 16th October (8.30pm)
Revanche
Götz Spielmann, 2009
Run Time: 121 mins.
Revanche is the stunning, Oscar–nominated, international breakthrough film from Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann. Hardened ex-con Alex works as an assistant in a brothel, where he falls for Ukrainian hooker Tamara. Their desperate plans for escape unexpectedly intersect with the lives of a rural cop and his seemingly content wife. With meticulous, elegant direction, Spielmann creates a tense, existential, and surprising portrait of vengeance and redemption, and a journey into the darkest forest of human nature, in which violence and beauty exist side by side.
