LOS ANGELES TIMES “Both intimate and expansive, Free Solo is a documentary beautifully calculated to literally take your breath away. And it does.”

FREE SOLO (Exempt) 

Saturday 5 January 6.00pm

Sunday 20 January 7.00pm

From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi (“MERU”) and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin comes National Geographic Documentary Film’s FREE SOLO, a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of the free soloist climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock…the 3,000ft El Capitan in Yosemite National Park…without a rope.
Celebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, Honnold’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge, Honnold enters his story in the annals of human achievement.
FREE SOLO is both an edge-of-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who exceeded our current understanding of human physical and mental potential. The result is a triumph of the human spirit.

They didn’t know they were brothers. But someone did.

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS (Exempt – suitable for older children)

Sunday 6 January 7.00pm

Sunday 20 January 4.30pm

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS is a documentary on identical triplets reunited at age 19 and the dark secret behind their initial separation.

“New York, 1980: Three complete strangers — Bobby Shafran, Eddy Galland, and David Kellman — make the astounding discovery that they are identical triplets. Separated at birth, adopted, and raised by three different families, the 19-year-olds are reunited by chance.

Their story sets the tabloids on fire, and the triplets suddenly become famous around the world. The brothers forge a relationship and become fast friends. They move in together in a swinging bachelor pad and open a restaurant that skyrockets to success. The toast of Manhattan, the triplets are living the high life. But their fairy-tale reunion sets off a chain of events that ultimately unearths an extraordinary and sinister secret that could answer controversial questions at the heart of human behaviour.” (Sundance Film Festival).

Stuff – James Croot 4/5 Stars“The cast are uniformly excellent, imbuing their complex, flawed characters with real humanity, while there’s a real sense of place and space created by Kore-eda’s use of hand-held cameras and natural lighting.”

SHOPLIFTERS (121 mins M Sexual references | Japanese with English subtitles)

Raglan Movies at the Old School, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan

Saturday 5 January 8.30pm

Sunday 6 January 4.30pm

In SHOPLIFTERS, a Japanese couple stuck with part-time jobs and hence inadequate incomes avail themselves of the fruits of shoplifting to make ends meet. They are not alone in this behaviour. The younger and the older of the household are in on the act.

The unusual routine is about to change from carefree and matter-of-fact to something more dramatic, however, as the couple open their doors to a beleaguered teenager. The reasons for the family and friends’ habit and their motivations come under the microscope.
