THE LITTLE DEATH - Introduction with Josh Lawson |
|
We invite you to come meet Josh Lawson, Actor and Director for an advance preview for THE LITTLE DEATH in which Josh will introduce his new film.
The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi-story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street to explore the secret sex lives of five ordinary couples. Laugh-out-loud funny, honest and ultimately moving, The Little Death looks at how far we go in pursuit of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy; a moment the French call ‘la petite mort’ – the little death.
SCREENING DETAILS Palace Cinema Como 8.30pm Tuesday 16th September Regular Ticket prices apply |

WE ARE THE BEST [MA15+] - Exclusive Advance Screenings |
|
WE ARE THE BEST! is Lukas Moodysson's adaptation of his wife Coco's graphic novel about three young misfits growing up in early '80s Stockholm. Pixieish, mohawk-sporting Klara (Mira Grosin) and her best friend Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments-or discernible musical talent-the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, recruiting their shy, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne) as the third wheel.
With tender affection for his young characters and the period in which his film is set, Moodysson paints an ebullient and sharply observant portrait of DIY spirit and growing up different.

THE SKELETON TWINS + WHIPLASH Complimentary Ticket |
|
After ten years of estrangement, twins Maggie (Kristen Wiig) and Milo (Bill Hader) coincidentally cheat death on the same day, prompting them to reunite and confront how their lives went so wrong.
At first, the bond between the twins is tentative: A surprise visit from their mother (Joanna Gleason), a new-age practitioner who refuses to recognize her children’s pain, only seems to amplify just how little Maggie and Milo have recovered from the events of their childhood. Eventually Milo and Maggie grow to understand that living truthfully and sharing their lives with each other, pain and all, is the only way they can move forward and reclaim the happiness they once enjoyed together.

Thanks to Sony Pictures Australia, everyone who comes to our advance previews of THE SKELETON TWINS will receive an admit 1 pass to Miles Teller's upcoming WHIPLASH which has recently been receiving rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival. View Reviews.
WHIPLASH Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller) is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father (Paul Reiser), Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life.
Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability—and his sanity. "A work of
bravura filmmaking. Anchored by extraordinary performances from Miles Teller
and J.K. Simmons... Simmons absolutely dominates every frame of the
picture" - Collider Commencing October 23 at Palace Brighton Bay, Cinema Como, Kino and Westgarth |

WISH I WAS HERE [M] - Advance Screenings |
|
WISH I WAS HERE is the story of Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life.
He and his wife are barely getting by financially and Aidan passes his time by fantasizing about being the great futuristic Space-Knight he’d always dreamed he’d be as a little kid. When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids (ages 5 and 12) and the only available public school is on its last legs, Aidan reluctantly agrees to attempt to home-school them. The result is some funny chaos, until Aidan decides to scrap the traditional academic curriculum and come up with his own. Through teaching them about life his way, Aidan gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn’t find.

IN BLOOM [CTC] - Coming Soon |
|
Celebrated by critics and audiences at over 30 major international film festivals, Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Gross’ multi award-winning IN BLOOM depicts the unforgettable story of two young girls navigating the complex ties of friendship, love and family within a world of upheaval.
Tbilisi, 1992: the newly independent state of Georgia must fend for itself, even as civil war rages in the provinces. For 14 year-old best friends Eka and Natia, their childhood in the run-down but still beautiful city has come to an abrupt halt. Natia has already attracted not only the attention of handsome Lado but also local criminal Kote, who is not going to tolerate rivals without a fight. It is the gift by Lado to Natia of a pistol, something to ‘protect herself with’, that fractures the lives of both girls and tests their relationship, as each responds to pressures beyond their control in very different and life-changing ways.
