The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Nocturnal Animals? (2016) at the Ivy House on 28 June 2018


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Nocturnal Animals? (2016) at 8pm on Thursday, 28 June 2018, at the Ivy House.


With Nocturnal Animals you get two films for the price of one. The first film (reality) tells of Los Angeles art dealer Susan, divorced and remarried, whose novelist first husband Edward sends her his new novel, together with an invitation to dinner. Susan is becoming estranged from her (brute of a) second husband, and as she reads the novel, elements remind her of her first marriage to Edward whose pet name for her, Nocturnal Animal, is also the book?s title.


The second film is the novel as it plays out in her head, with her real first husband as its chief protagonist. As the ?second? film ? a western revenge tragedy - unfolds, so do her fond (and not so fond) memories of her first marriage and its downfall. Jake Gyllenhaal plays the first husband and novel ?hero?, with Amy Adams the art-dealer wife.


Director: Tom Ford

USA

Running time: 116 minutes.

Cert: 15


We say: this is a modern, award-winning film with strong leads and direction, with a suitably enigmatic and post-modern conclusion.


Film at 8pm.

    • Skateboarding is so misunderstood...it is more technical than ballet and the use of drink is not very compatible with a  practise that requires rare dedication and degrees of skill and coordination impossible with alcohol and for most people... impossible at any time. The mutual support and encouragement in that culture is something to be valued.   My Godson's friend had just taken his life which really put things into perspective for me. being trapped alone in a bedroom instead is not great for mental health...   think of the access previous generations had to no mans land.     London has always been a place where wealthy corporate areas remain next to areas of interesting creativity.  The skateboarders beneath south bank centre have a constant audience of tourists;  places like that keep London from becoming stagnant and cold.     
    • Another endorsement for Greg. I called him first thing after water started dripping through my kitchen light fitting. He came straightaway, immediately understood the issue and fixed it. Incredibly efficient, neat and tidy, and charged a competitive rate. Will definitely be calling him again and would highly recommend. 
    • Because . ...? What would your unromanticised film version of the skate park be? Are you saying that what it portrays is wrong in some way?
    • If memory serves me right, it wasn't vandals, it was either council or landowners.
