LOCALS' NIGHT

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982)

MONDAY JULY 20, 7PM

An homage to the adventure and sci-fi comics he grew up, E.T. is one of Steven Spielberg’s most well-rounded films, with just the right amount of drama, sweetness, suspense, action, and sadness. Upon its release, E.T. beat out Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time (a title it held until Jurassic Park‘s dinosaurs crushed it). It quickly became a cultural touchstone (ever seen a show, cartoon, or comic strip where someone rides a bike and flies through the air?) Also, it features a supremely cute Drew Barrymore.

FEATURE FILM

SACCHARINE

NOW SHOWING

When first-year medical student Hana becomes fixated on weight loss after reuniting with a dramatically transformed friend, she’s drawn into a disturbing world of body image obsession. Hana takes the diet pills her old friend gave her – and they really start to work straight away, but she’s unable to afford the high cost, so she tests the contents of the pills —only to discover they contain human ashes.

A fun, tactile, comedic body horror from Australian writer-director Natalie Erika James, following up her successful debut feature film Relic.

SPECIAL EVENT

LETTY LYNTON (1932)

SUNDAY 19 JULY, 3PM

Famously out of circulation since the 1930s due to copyright infringment charges, Letty Lynton is one of pre-Code Hollywood’s greatest lost treasures. The first screen adaptation of a well-known murder trial stars Joan Crawford in a contemporary story about a woman who flees her possessive paramour in South America and falls for American tycoon Robert Montgomery. It was a commercial and critical hit, as much for the glamorous gown made by MGM’s costume designer Adrian as for the film itself.
