We kick of the month of June with one of our most eclectic double features, featuring the last of this year’s Best Picture Oscar nominees, as well as a violent take on the Hansel and Gretel tale. Plus, tickets to be won!
• Sat 8 June @ **7 PM**: AMOUR followed by HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS
In AMOUR, the lives of Anne and Georges, an elderly couple, are changed forever when Anne suffers a stroke, which paralyses half of her body. Directed by Michael Haneke, and winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 2013 Oscars as well as the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
Then, in HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS, the siblings from the fairy tale have grown into bounty hunters (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) who hunt and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, they encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past.
