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.

    • Did I wake up in some parallel universe - listened in to Keir's press conference today and he was saying immigration was out of control, the Tories had been running an Opens Borders Experiment and his party were going to get on top of it.....sounded very much like a right-wing Tory pitch....;-) Also, does the ONS not have an element of responsibility - these are, after all, their figures that are being continually revised - is their data collection/analysis robust? Or is the suggestion that there was political interference in the numbers that were being published by the Tories?  
    • So you're next line of attack is so start making it personal, carry on, eventually you'll get thrown out of here.  Thought you'd given up with me, but you can't let go.  Me and 2.86M people are all fed up with the pigs ear Starmer and his motley crew of things and want a change. The red witch has cast a wicked spell over the entire country and left us all in an even worse mess than before.  We need the wolf gone man.  
    • Must you be so humourless Jester?  you jumped on someone for a typo, so he was just playing with you   "t's Jazzer, not Jezzer." "Why does Starmer continually blame the last Govt, now for immigration figures, can't he get on with the job in hand instead of using the same old line blaming the Conservatives, it becomes boring, " a - because the tories continued to use the same line on labour 14 years after the 2010 election b - because it has the benefit of being true whilst opposition try and paint him as someone who should have fixed everything in 5 months when they hadn't done any of it in 14 years    Someone is a joke here but I doubt you will ever see it More seriously tho - he isn't WRONG to blame the last govt but he doesn't convince that he is going to do anything different Prime Ministers of any hue decreeing "we will drastically reduce the numbers" begs the question "how?" (assuming that you think it's a priority - I don't really -  But I get that many people get SUPER angry about this) But UK would need  to spend a lot of money setting up proper border posts and processing centres, move genuine arrivals thru quickly and work with other countries (again - major problem of Brexit and nothing Starmer says he will concede any red lines - so good luck with that) - National ID cards for everyone  would also help track arrivals but English people seems to be dead set against those What won't work is leaving the ECHR, throwing red meat to right wingers or cod-schemes like Rwanda
    • At least they attended and seemed to be doing something, and something is better than nothing.
