Good People

The film night for Thursday 10th July for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the star-studded documentary, Merchant Ivory about the team behind some of the most iconic films ever made.

Our 8pm screening is Tina, a much-loved New Zealand film about a woman's story of healing after a great loss.

MERCHANT IVORY
UK, 2024, Documentary, 105 mins
Cast: Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham-Carter, Vanessa Redgrave

This is about one of the longest ever movie making partnerships - between producer, Ismail Merchant and director, James Ivory.

The film provides fresh perspectives and behind-the-scenes footage of the unique Merchant Ivory team and their working style.

It also includes insights from the many Oscar-winning actors who have appeared in their films, including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham-Carter and Vanessa Redgrave. Each of them detailing their experiences of being a part of the “wandering company” which produced a range of iconic films over a period of four decades.

"A wonderful and insightful look at their remarkable careers and behind the scenes of some of the best films of all time." - Rotten Tomatoes
