    STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES James Croot 4/5 Stars "The Palme d'Or winner that will keep you gripped until the final frames "

    In ANATOMY OF A FALL, for the past year, Sandra, a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed. Samuel's death is treated as suspicious, presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. Little by little the trial becomes not just an investigation of the circumstances of Samuel's death, but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's conflicted relationship.

    Movie- THE OLD OAK (7.30pm)

    March 2, 2024

    2024 Nominee BAFTA Film Award Outstanding British Film of the Year: THE OLD OAK

    Cannes Film Festival Ken Loach for THE OLD OAK 2023 Nominee Palme d’Or

    Graeme Tuckett Stuff-Waikato Times, 4/5 Stars “Ken Loach’s swansong is gorgeous, flawed, relatable and unmissable as ever.”

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving community.

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) the landlord hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips.

    His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara [Ebla Mari] with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes.

    Director: Ken Loach

    Producer: Rebecca O’Brien

    Screen Writer: Paul Laverty

    Actors: Trevor Fox, Col Tait, Dave Turner, Ebla Mari, Claire Rodgerson,Chris McGlade, Jordan Louis

  • Movie- BORROMINI & BERNINI - the challenge of perfection (4.30pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- BORROMINI & BERNINI - the challenge of perfection (4.30pm)


    March 3, 2024

    NARRATED IN ENGLISH by Remo Anzovino

    This is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity.

    Borromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever, by pushing himself to his limit, but also by battling conventions and prejudices, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end.

    Places and works in Rome visited in the film: Barberini Palace, St. Peter’s canopy, San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, Sant’Andrea al Quirinale, Basilica of Saint John Lateran, Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona, St. Peter’s colonnade, and Villa Adriana in Tivoli.

    Borromini and Bernini: The Challenge for Perfection is the story of an architectural revolution carried out by a solitary genius who changed the appearance of Rome forever, by taking up a personal challenge against convention and prejudice, by having the humility to learn from the past in order to invent the future, and the courage to pursue an idea by paying the price to the full.
