French Movie "Summer Hours" at Fenwick Cinemas |
Date: 11 July 2009
Venue: Fenwick Cinemas Esperance
For the French weekend this year the movie chosen is Summer Hours at Fenwick Cinemas
Ticket $20
Wine and nibbles start at 5:30 and the movie starts at 6:30pm
Tickets for sale at the cinema
The Film:
How much or how little are we obliged to honour the wishes of our parents after
they're gone? This is the question posed by Olivier Assayas in his rueful and
wise new film, the most internationally heralded of his career to date.
In Summer Hours, the divergent paths of three forty-something siblings collide
after their mother (Edith Scob), heiress to her uncle's exceptional 19th century
art collection, dies suddenly, leaving them to come to terms with themselves and
their differences. Adrienne (Juliette Binoche) a successful New York designer,
Frédéric (Charles Berling) an economist and university professor in Paris, and
Jérémie (Jérémie Renier) a dynamic businessman in China, are forced to discuss
the practical details concerning the collection: preserve or sell? Display, or protect?
In doing so they must confront the end of childhood, their shared memories,
background and unique vision of the future.
Every moment of this wonderful film is imbued with longing, joy, regret and
illumination. Incisively written, superbly acted and boasting a delicately understated
approach to the subject matter, Assayas' new film moves effortlessly
through its narrative with all the grace of Renoir at the height of his powers.

“....possibly one of the best pieces of Independent Theatre I have had the pleasure of seeing... a fast paced piece that will have you on the edge of your seat.”
- Nigel Munro-Wallis, 612 ABC Brisbane
A clever, thrilling and masterful production about the trapped survivors of the Kursk disaster. Winner of a 2007 Bell award for Best New Play.
After a decade of inactivity caused by the turmoil of the 90s The Russian Navy undertook a major naval exercise in August 2000. During the training, the pride of the Russian fleet, a nuclear submarine the Kursk, vanished. The wreckage was eventually discovered on the bottom of the ocean with the sailors trapped inside. The Russian Navy faced severe weather conditions and an impossible rescue. On top of this a serious international crisis was brewing with suspected foreign involvement in the disaster. In the meantime the whole world waited desperately for the survivors to be rescued.

Experience a spectacular evening of traditional Irish dance, music and song enhanced by stunning costumes, lighting and sound. This is indeed, THE RHYTHMS OF IRELAND. "Legend, folklore and enchantment are interwoven in a voyage of discovery without falling into the trap of sentimentality. That's not to deny that some passages make the hairs on the nape of the neck rise…the troupe's adaptation echoes the past as the dancers seem to fly across the stage to the beat of the bodhron and the soaring notes of the fiddle. Great music, dancing and singing by performers of zipping quality and enthusiasm make you want to clap in time. In fact, the haunting sound of the pipes, the energizing sound of the taps, the deep rhythms of the bodhrán and the shrill cry of the fiddle – the best of the Irish experience”, notes Michael Donnellan, the Choreographer of THE RHYTHMS OF IRELAND.
