Nov 30: Movie – YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE YESTERDAY
A ravishing account of the birth of Australian surf culture, and the accompanying indie film movement.
Graeme Tuckett STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES “You Should Have Been Here Yesterday is a well-assembled greatest-hits reel from those early films, intercut with some present-day interviews with the men and women who made them. They have a hell of a yarn to tell.
The footage has been lovingly restored and it looks a million dollars. Modern cameras struggle to capture the poetry of bodies in motion through water on a sunny day, anything like as beautifully as a 16mm film camera in the hands of someone who really knows how to operate it.
If there’s a cinema showing You Should Have Been Here Yesterday in your town, get along there. The film looks and sounds fantastic, and it has a real story to tell.”

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE YESTERDAY combines hundreds of hours of lovingly restored 16mm surfing footage with a salt-infused soundscape by Headland. This cinematic poem tells the story of a wild Aussie community who took off up the coast and discovered a whole new way to live. Going back to the never-before-seen camera reels to ask the question – what do we keep and what do we leave behind?
Featuring Tim Winton, Wayne Lynch, Bob McTavish, Albe Falzon, Evelyn Rich, Maurice Cole and many more. Inspired by Moonage Daydream and Jen Peedom’s Mountain.

Delia (Cortellesi) lives in a working-class community in Rome in the late 1940s – a city divided between the positive thrust of liberation and the miseries of the war that has just ended – with her domineering husband, Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea), their three children, and father-in-law.
She rises above the daily challenges of family life; has a best friend with whom to share moments of levity, and dreams for her daughter Marcella to one day have a better life. Delia accepts her fate – the good with the bad – until one day a mysterious letter arrives. Shot in resplendent black and white, in the style of post-World War II Italian neorealist filmmakers, There’s Still Tomorrow is a critically acclaimed, bittersweet and empowering tale tinged with a comedic irony.

NOV 30: IT ENDS WITH US
IT ENDS WITH US, the first Colleen Hoover novel adapted for the big screen, tells the compelling story of Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business.
James Croot STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES 3.5/5 “IT ENDS WITH US is, despite some obvious tonal issues and narrative flaws, easily one of the better, emotionally satisfying contemporary romantic-drama to come out of Hollywood in recent years.”
