Meet Michael Caton and director Jeremy Sims at a preview screening followed by a Q&A of their new film LAST CAB TO DARWIN.
Starring Michael Caton and Jackie Weaver, and from Last Train to Freo director Jeremy Sims, LAST CAB TO DARWIN is an unusual road movie that takes in the beauty and majesty of the Australian outback.

When told he doesn't have long to live, he embarks on an epic drive through the Australian outback to Darwin in a bid to die on his own terms. Along the way on his journey of self-discovery, he realises that before you can end your life, you have to live it, and to live it, you've got to share it. Based on a true story, and with supporting performances from Emma Hamilton and Ningali Lawford-Wolf, LAST CAB TO DARWIN is a moving and good-humoured drive.

FAR FROM MEN [M] - Advance Previews |
|
Featuring a career-best performance from the multi-talented Viggo Mortensen and a superb original soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, FAR FROM MEN is a gripping tale of morality and friendship set during the Algerian War, against an imposing mountainous landscape.
The year is 1954, the war is beginning and village schoolteacher Daru (Mortensen), an ex-French Army soldier, is caught in the crossfire. Born in Algeria but Spanish by lineage, he’s a man out of time and place, perceived as alien by both locals and colonisers alike. So when he reluctantly agrees to escort a dissident (rising star Reda Kateb) to a regional police station to face trial for murder, a series of incidents and revelations force the question of where Daru’s loyalties truly lie.

Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s head by her rascal of a dad that monogamy isn’t realistic.

When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she’s writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners , Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

PALACE OPERA AND BALLET: L'Histoire De Manon |
|
Kenneth MacMillan's acclaimed tragic ballet is a modern masterpiece. First performed in 1974 and celebrating its 40th anniversary, this production is the second in this year’s season following The Royal Ballet’s. In Regency Paris, bourgeois society gorges itself on luxury and easy pleasures. Carried off in this whirlwind, the sensual yet naïve Manon is unable to resist temptation and she drags down the faithful Des Grieux with her in her fall. This production marks the farewell performance of Paris Opera Ballet Étoile Aurélie Dupont.
Commencing tomorrow at Palace Balwyn, Brighton Bay and Cinema Como |

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: EVERYMAN |
|
BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road).
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out.
One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.
