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.

    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
