GOLDA is the powerful new biopic starring Academy Award winner Helen Mirren as one of history’s most powerful and polarising female figures. Based on the tense 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Mirren shines as the one woman who stood between victory and defeat.
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Mirren), faced with the potential of Israel’s complete destruction, must navigate overwhelming odds, a sceptical cabinet, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber), with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy around the world. Screening at Dendy Coorparoo and Dendy Portside Thursday, April 18.
“Tense and absorbing.” – Variety
“Engrossing. Mirren is near-perfect.” – Deadline
THE TASTE OF THINGS is the acclaimed new French romantic drama starring Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel. Blending cooking with romantic love, this deliciously sensual and captivatingly dreamy adaptation of Marcel Rouff’s classic 1924 novel is a veritable feast for the senses.
Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant (Magimel) as a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie (Binoche). They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her. Screening at Dendy Coorparoo and Dendy Portside Friday, April 26.
