BLACKKKLANSMAN (16 DLPV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park only
Visionary director Spike Lee returns with a new film, BlacKkKlansman, which won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It’s the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: Infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organisation aims to sanitise its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream.
ELLEN: DIE ELLEN PAKKIES STORIE (16 DLV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and Parkview
(Afrikaans, with English subtitles)
Ellen: Die Ellen Pakkies Storie is die ontstellende ware verhaal van ’n vrou wat deur die strafproses geplaas word, teregstaan op ’n moordaanklag en gedryf is deur ’n onwrikbare liefde vir haar seun. Dit delf in die innerlike psige van ’n familie wat deur dwelms vernietig word, in een van die gevaarlikste gemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika. ’n Plaag, met gevolge wat verder strek as die Kaapse Vlaktes en wat die staat se onvermoë, om die armstes van die armes te beskerm, beklemtoon.
