The story of Ellie (Hayley Atwell), a young girl left in charge of a retirement home over the Christmas period. Whilst most of the residents have left to spend the festive period with their families, four residents known as 'the hardcore' remain (played by Vanessa Redgrave, Brenda Fricker, Imelda Staunton, Joss Ackland). They have all led interesting lives but now in their twilight years they have become impossible to live with - rude and objectionable but often hilariously funny. In fact, their behaviour is so terrible that the home faces closure as potential new residents are put off by their appalling antics. From the producers of My Left Foot and from a story by Maeve Binchy.

6:45pm for 7:00pm Tuesday 12th August at Luna Leederville. Join us for a special preview screening of Sharkwater with a Q&A after the film with special guest speakers.
All tickets $15 from Luna Leederville and online. Part proceeds go to Seashepherd.
There are few films that can completely change your view on something, and this would count among them. It highlights sharks in a completely different light and will give you a new appreciation and admiration for them. Rob Stewart's informative and incredibly entertaining documentary looks at not only our culture's reaction to the massive critters, but he also wisely pays tribute to them by filming beautiful underwater footage of sharks in movement. Add to that, the film gently bends over into the political territory of international shark poaching - and those ignorant fools who consume shark fins. |

In May 1944, a group of French servicewomen and resistance fighters are enlisted into the British Special Operations Executive commando group under the command of Louise Desfontaines (Sophie Marceau) and her brother Pierre (Julien Boisselier). Their mission, to rescue a British army geologist caught reconnoitering the beaches at Normandy, and to kill a German SS colonel who is close to figuring out the imminent secret of D-Day, proves to be emotional and brutal. The story is inspired by the accomplishments of decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac.

A beautifully drawn love story, the film revolves around two feisty, free-spirited women, Caitlin Thomas (Siena Miller) and Vera Killick (Keira Knightley), Vera's husband William Killick (Cillian Murphy), and the brilliant, charismatic poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) who loves both women.
Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to The Edge Of Love. By no means a biopic in the traditional vein, the story explores the bohemian underworld of war-torn London, and the intimate complexities of two young couples whose lives and loves become dangerously intertwined. |

This hilarious comedy was released in France in February to become the biggest success in French history. With over 17.4 million admissions and over $US200million at the box office to date, the film continues its triumphant run and has out-grossed 'Titanic'. To please his wife, Philippe Abrams (Kad Merad), a post office manager, tries to obtain a transfer to a seaside town, on the French Riviera, at any cost. The trouble is that he is caught red-handed while trying to scam an inspector. Philippe is immediately banished to the distant unheard of town of Bergues, in the Far North of France. Leaving his child and wife behind, the crucified man leaves for his frightening destination, a dreadfully cold place inhabited by hard-drinking, unemployed rednecks, speaking an incomprehensible dialect called Ch'ti. Philippe soon realizes that all these ideas were nothing but prejudices and that Bergues is not synonymous with hell. (French with English Subtitles) |

Brideshead Revisited, the epic novel of life, death and spiritual renewal among the English Catholic gentry, is widely described as Evelyn Waugh's greatest work.
Whilst at Oxford University a chance encounter with the charming and decadent Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw, Perfume), son of Lord Marchmain, draws Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode, Match Point) into the exclusive world of British high society. For the impressionable Charles, Sebastian's world of money, glamour and outrageous behaviour makes for a seductive cocktail. Sebastian takes Charles under his wing and when he's invited to 'Brideshead', the Flyte family's magnificent ancestral home, Charles becomes infatuated with Julia (Hayley Atwell, How About You?), Sebastian's beautiful sister. Brideshead Revisited stars Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon and is the new film from Julian Jarrold, the director Becoming Jane. |
