AUSTRALIA (12A)
DTS A/D

Dir. Baz Luhrmann

Tuesday 28th April 7:30pm

CLOSE TO SELL-OUT!

OFFICIAL SITE

Baz Luhrmann’s visually stunning epic AUSTRALIA (12A) returns to Strode Theatre in Street on Tuesday 28th April at 7.30pm, after screenings sold out in the last season. Nicole Kidman plays an English aristocrat who arrives to take over her murdered husband’s Australian ranch around the outbreak of the Second World War. She has to rely heavily on the experience of the resident drover (Hugh Jackman) to have any chance of getting her cattle to market on the coast, but the rough-hewn workman is the polar opposite to her refined manners, and their relationship is a rocky one. The dangers of the road, however, soon bring them together in unexpected ways…

MILK (15)
DTS A/D

Dir. Gus Van Sant

Tuesday 5th May 7:30pm

OFFICIAL SITE

Best Actor Oscar winner Sean Penn gives a stunning performance in this moving biopic of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in the USA. His career, from closeted New York office worker to the foremost advocate of gay rights in late 70s San Francisco, before being assassinated by an unhinged colleague, makes for a fascinating story of courage and determination that stood out even in a time of great social change.
“…an astute chronicle of big-city politics and the portrait of a warrior whose passion was equalled by his generosity and good humor.” New York Times.
