Dir. Neils Adren Opplev. Sweden, Denmark & Germany 2010. 2hrs 33mins. In Swedish with English subtitles.
Monday 22 March, 12.00pm
Based on the bestselling literary phenomenon by Swedish author Stieg Larsson, this incredible adaptation is sure to be loved by gazillions of people.
Mysterious computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist unite to solve the case of a missing girl. The unlikely duo form a fragile alliance as they dig into the past of a secretive and dysfunctional, high profile family. But as they unravel the dark mystery, they begin to find their own lives under threat.
An edge of your seat thriller that acts as an excellent opener to the Millennium trilogy, continuing later this year.
Dir. Hirokazu Koreeda. Japan 2009. 1hr 55mins. In Japanese with English subtitles.
Monday 12 April, 12.00pm
The new film from director Hirokazu Koreeda (After Life) is an entrancing family-drama that brilliantly reworks the classic Tokyo Story. Still Walking chronicles a reunion between the Yokoyama family, who are meeting up to mark the fifteenth anniversary of the death of their elder brother, who died rescuing a drowning boy.
Throughout the day we are given a insight into their lives, perfectly demonstrating exactly what makes modern families tick. A subtle, brilliantly observed film that will stay with you forever. Superb.
“This is a higher order of story-telling, and this gentle, lovely film is impossible to watch without a lump in your throat.” The Guardian
