BRIGHT STAR (PG) 119min
  
In London 1818 a secret love affair
begins between 23-year-old English
poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and
the girl next door, Fanny Brawne
(Abbie Cornish), an outspoken
student of high fashion. They’re
an unlikely pair, he thinking her a
stylish minx while she is unimpressed not only by his poetry
but also by literature in general. Nominated for BAFTA Film
Award, this long-awaited return for Jane Campion has been
described as the film of the year. Dir Jane Campion, UK. March 3 |

BRAN NUE DAE (PG) 85min
  
In the summer of ‘69, young Willie
has an idyllic life in the old pearling
port of Broome: fishing, hanging
out with his mates and his girl. His
mother has great hopes for him and
returns him to the religious mission
in Perth for further schooling.
Filmed in the desert-scapes of WA’s Broome and studded
with stars of stage and screen including Jessica Mauboy,
Ernie Dingo, Missy Higgins and Geoffrey Rush, this exuberant
musical road movie from Rachel Perkins (Radiance) began
life as a stage musical in the early 90s. Dir Rachel Perkins,
Australia. March 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16 |

THE ROAD (MA) 119min
Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning
novel by Cormac McCarthy. A
post-apocalyptic tale of the journey
taken by a father and his young son
over a period of several months,
across a landscape blasted years
before by an unnamed cataclysm
that destroyed civilization and, seemingly, most life on
earth. This eerily prophetic masterpiece is a powerful return
for Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat, with soundtrack by
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Stars Viggo Mortensen & Kodi
Smit-McPhee (Romulus, My Father). Dir John Hillcoat, USA. March 1, 2, 3 |
| |
UP IN THE AIR (M) 109min
 
Ryan Bingham (George Clooney)
is a corporate downsizing expert
whose cherished life on the road
is threatened just as he is on the
cusp of achieving his goal of ten
million frequent flyer miles. With
charismatic performances, director
Jason Reitman (Juno and Thank You For Smoking) delivers a
smart blend of humour and emotion. Dir Jason Reitman, USA. March 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15 |
| |
PRECIOUS (MA) 110min
 Based on the novel Push by
Sapphire. In Harlem, Clareece
‘Precious’ Jones is an overweight,
illiterate teen pregnant with her

TOPP TWINS: UNTOUCHABLE GIRLS (PG) 84min
 
From rural backwaters to London’s
West End, their appeal is infectious.
From support act for Split Enz &
Billy Bragg to headlining their
own hugely successful tours in
Australia, Canada, USA and UK, the
twins have morphed from radical activists into Kiwi national
treasures and cultural ambassadors. Fun, unconventional
and musically challenging. Dir Leanne Pooley, New Zealand. March 27, 29, 30, April 2 |

FANTASTIC MR FOX (PG) 87min

Dahl, this film tells the tale of the

Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson. Dir
Wes Anderson, USA. March 28, 29, 31, April 5, 6, 7 |

A SINGLE MAN (M) 100min
 Set in a sun-drenched 1960s
California coastal canyon, featuring
revealing performances by Julianne
Moore and Matthew Goode, A Single
Man marks the directorial debut
of international fashion icon, Tom
Ford. Targeting indelible images
of love, loss and rebirth, the film is a drama focussing on a
single significant day in the life of college professor George
Falconer. Colin Firth delivers an outstanding performance,
and the emphasis on the clothes and architecture of the
1960s is impressive (the production design is by the same
