The Rider (12A TBC)

@ The Old Market
Admn: 6.00

TOM's Film Club presents:
From director Chloé Zhao (Songs My Brother Taught Me) comes this docu-drama portrait of the American heartland, which won the Art Cinema Award at Cannes 2017.

After suffering a near fatal head injury, young rodeo cowboy Brady is told he must give up the sport. But Brady needs to support his family, and the rodeo is his passion as well as his lifeline. Without it he must seek out a new identity, exploring what it means to be a man in the heartland.

This hyper-realist film is enhanced by using cast members who were involved in the real-life story that the film is based upon, including lead actor Brady Jandreau, his sister and father, and fellow injured rider Lane Scott. Set against the expansive landscapes of the Dakotas, director Zhao studies modes of contemporary masculinity without glorification or judgement.

“A beautiful, longing look at the transforming American West”

Once Upon A Time In The West (12A)

@ The Old Market
Admn: 6.00

TOM's Film Club presents:
To celebrate the 90th birthday of the great maestro Ennio Morricone, we present a 50th anniversary screening of one of the most majestic westerns ever made, featuring some of his most iconic ‘Spaghetti Western’ compositions.

Sergio Leone’s follow-up to The Man with No Name trilogy sees villainous would-be tycoon and gunfighter Frank (Henry Fonda) try to drive the recently widowed Jill (Claudia Cardinale) off her land to make way for a corrupt railway company. However, quiet loner Harmonica (Charles Bronson) and sympathetic outlaw Cheyenne (Jason Robards) offer her protection from Frank and his men.

Featuring one of the most breathtaking introductory scenes in cinema history, the film script was largely improvised around the mood of Morricone’s masterful score, resulting in a masterpiece, which many consider one of the greatest films ever made.

“Nobody has made a better Western since. In fact, nobody has made a better Western, period”
