[suas] Film Night: Children of Men

Your resident SUAS film-buff was thinking of letting this term’s films round off with a really really bad disaster movie. A really bad one. Worse than The Towering Inferno, or even The Big Bus. Instead, he’s been persuaded (it didn’t take much) to bring you an awesome recent release that paints a poignant yet terrifying picture of Britain twenty years from now.

In association with Studio 9 (a.k.a. the paranoid studio), [suas] film night presents:

CHILDREN OF MEN
dir. Alfonso Cuarón (2006)

“Simply the most extraordinary look of any movie around” – The Guardian

“One of the most astonishing scenes … I’ve ever seen on film” – New York Times

“Two of the most virtuoso single-shot chase sequences I’ve ever seen” – Slate Magazine

“Cuarón has a gift only the greatest filmmakers share: He makes you believe” – Rolling Stone

SUAS Film Night is for SUAS members only, but if you’re not a member you can join on the door. Festive drinks in t’Interval afterwards.

[suas] Film Night: The Quiet Earth

THE QUIET EARTH
dir. Geoff Murphy (1985)

“Imaginative, strong, refreshing” – Variety

“Extraordinary” – reel.com

“Soft-spoken, fascinating and impressive” – DVD Talk

“A cult classic of the good variety” – filmcritic.com
