SUMMARY:Mystery International Film Club!
DESCRIPTION:It’s a MONSTER HIT!!\n\n\n\nThis event is for individuals aged 15 and over. \nWelcome to the voting page for the latest edition of Manchester Central Library’s International Film Club’s Mystery Screening series. \nEvent Details: \n\nDoors open: 17:00\nIntroduction to the film: 17:20\nFilm starts: 17:30\nEntry: Pay what you can (recommended donation of £3)\nPopcorn: FREE!\nDrinks: Grab a coffee\, tea\, or soft drink from the fully stocked café!\n\nThe Mystery Film Clubs screenings at Manchester Central Library specialise in showing a wide and eclectic range of films from all over the world. These are the sorts of films unlikely to be seen anywhere else\, underseen and under-loved masterpieces from every single point of the globe. There’s no delineation by genre or age\, as long as the film is great it can be shown here. \nThis month’s choices are: \nElection (2005 Hong-Kong) \nA triad election is upon us and numerous factions vie for power. While the premise implies action\, what we have here is a masterful political thriller from director Johnnie To that exposes the vulgarity at the core of tradition and politeness as they fail and are manipulated. Rapturous performances all round and one of the most jaw-dropping endings in film history. \nOmar Gatlato (1976 Algeria) \nA simple tale of a normal man\, we follow him for a few days and meet his family\, his friends and his crush\, while we do this he addresses the camera and shows us around his city. As much about the man as it is about Algeria\, as along our journey we meet the vibrant\, colourful locals and the film celebrates a time and a place. \nLabyrinth of Dreams (1997 Japan) \nTomiko falls in love with Niitaka\, even though she also suspects him of being the Tokyo bus driver serial killer\, who killed his female conductors after tiring of them. Gakyruu Ishii’s restrained and ethereal dream of beautiful ghosts cloaked in a hazy melancholy. \nMafioso (1962 Italy) \nThe past catches up with loveable Antonio in this Italian film filled with lightness and warmth before kidnapping the audience and reminding them the reality of the Sicilian Mafia. A film that will subvert your expectations\, shock and entertain you. \nThe Horse Thief (1986 China/Tibet) \nAn unbelievable look at the impossible\, almost unearthly environments of remotest Tibet as we follow young monk Norbu and his family after he is banished from his temple. A favourite of Martin Scorsese and an unparalleled filmic voice. \nBook tickets and vote for your favourite film here or at the link below!
