Juniper (15)
Dir. Matthew Saville, New Zealand, 2021, 94 mins. Cast. Charlotte Rampling, Marton Csokas, George Ferrier, Edith Poor.
Sam has been on a self-destructive spiral that could lead to his death. He returns home from boarding school to find that his wheelchair-bound English grandmother, Ruth, has moved in. Ruth is an ex-war photographer with a lust for life and a love of the bottle. Sam soon finds himself profoundly confronted by her alcoholic wit and chutzpah. Their first meeting is awkward; their second violent. Things get worse when Sam finds himself stranded alone with her and her nurse Sarah for the school holidays. Both strong-willed characters, a battle of supremacy ensues, enabling Sam to embrace life again and for Ruth to face her mortality.
We're sorry to announce that the 5.30pm screening on Saturday 22 October is cancelled due to a technical problem.
