1917 (13 LV)
Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and Woodlands
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield and Blake, are given a seemingly impossible mission: in a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers— Blake’s own brother among them. Time is the enemy!
Les Misérables (LPV)
Showing at Nu Metro Parkview
Stephane, only just arrived from Cherbourg, joins the anti-crime squad of Montfermeil in a sensitive district of the Paris suburbs. Paired up with Chris and Gwada, whose methods are sometimes “special,” he rapidly discovers the tensions between the various neighbourhood groups. When an arrest starts to get out of hand, a drone is filming every move they make. The film is inspired by the 2005 riots in Paris.
