WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
................................................................
This week at the ANU Film Group, you can jump into action with an AMERICAN ASSASSIN, visit a Danish COMMUNE, and then end the week with two well-matched double features. On Friday, enjoy the company of unlikely friendships with VICTORIA & ABDUL and LOST IN TRANSLATION. Then, on Saturday, explore two visually spectacular fantasy worlds in VALERIAN and A MONSTER CALLS.
• TUE 24 OCT @ 7:30 PM: THE COMMUNE
When a couple inherits a vast country estate outside of Copenhagen, they establish a commune and invite friends to join them. They embrace the collective spirit of their experimental utopia – until an affair puts the community to test. Directed by Thomas Vinterberg (FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD).
** Presented in partnership with the Embassy of Denmark **
• THU 26 OCT @ 7:30 PM: AMERICAN ASSASSIN
After the death of his girlfriend at the hands of terrorists, a revenge-seeking young man (Dylan O’Brien) is drawn into the world of counter-terrorism when he is enlisted by the CIA and placed under the command of a Cold War veteran (Michael Keaton) to stop a former operative intent on starting a world war.

In the later years of her reign, Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) meets an Indian clerk (Ali Fazal) when he travels to England for her Golden Jubilee.

In the 28th century, special operatives Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) embark on a mission to a city where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries – and whose existence is now being threatened by a dark force. Directed by Luc Besson (THE FIFTH ELEMENT).
Then, in the visually spectacular A MONSTER CALLS (at approx. 9:30 PM), a bullied young boy finds an unlikely ally when a tree monster appears at his bedroom window one night, and aids him in coping with his mother’s terminal illness. Starring Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver and Liam Neeson.
