Weekend watches at the cinemas
Here's what's on at our local cinemas this weekend
LOOKING for some good fortune? St Arnaud Cinema has you covered.
Good Fortune is a film about a well-meaning but quite inept angel named Gabriel who meddles in the lives of a struggling gig-worker Arj, and his wealthy tech-venture friend and boss, Jeff.
Using his mystical forces, Gabriel swaps their lives after Arj is fired for using Jeff’s credit card to pay for an unexpected and expensive restaurant meal.
Gabriel’s intervention soon develops into mayhem.
Great acting performances by Keanu Reeves, Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogan, Keke Palmer. This movie is a great escape into fantasy-land.
Travelling to the Rex
AUSTRALIAN movie “The Travellers” is the featured film at The Rex Theatre Charlton this weekend.
Starring Bryan Brown and Susie Porter, the story revolves around Stephen Seary (Luke Bracey), a charismatic and successful stage designer who returns to his small hometown to say goodbye to his dying mother.
What was to be a quick trip descends into chaos, drama, and at times downright funny moments as Stephen navigates family responsibilities, a difficult relationship with his father Fred (Bryan Brown), old friends and past lovers, all while trying to return to Europe for a major opera production.
In the process he’s forced to confront what really matters.
Filmed in regional Western Australia, this drama is a moving portrait of family, identity, and the inescapable pull of home.
Poignant, funny and heartwarming, The Travellers explores themes about aging, family responsibilities, father/ son bonds and navigating relationships from the past.
With hits including “Driving Miss Daisy”, “Mao’s Last Dancer” and “Ladies in Black”, director Bruce Beresford weaves this art form and music through this film.
