Good People
The film night for Thursday 18th September for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the gentle, intelligent and profoundly beautiful film from Georgia, CROSSING.
Our 8pm screening is THE RETURN starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. Based on Homer's Odyessy, it is a powerful story of a king returning to his family after years away and attempting to unite a fractured nation.
CROSSING
Georgia/Turkey (subtitles), 2024,
Drama, 105 mins, Rated M
Cast: Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava and Deniz Dumanli.
Director: Levan Akin
In Georgia, a retired history teacher, Lia has been working day and night to keep a promise to her now-dead sister. She has made it her mission to find her long-lost niece, Tekla.
Tekla disappeared some time ago, supposedly to Turkey. It happened when her husband insisted that Tekla leave and never return when she came out as trans.
In Istanbul, Lia does her best but struggles to make progress. It almost feels like Tekla doesn't want to be found. But then Lia meets Evrim, a lawyer who says she will use her contacts to help her find Tekla.
"Crossing marks another humanist triumph for writer-director Levan Akin." - Metacritic
