At The Movies for Wednesday 22 May 2019
AT THE MOVIES #765 DIVERSITY, SCHMIVERSITY
Simon Morris discovers that just because there are a range of movies doesn’t mean they’re exactly diverse. He settles for a blokey action franchise, and two different ways of dealing with biculturalism.
John Wicks 3: Parabellum sees Keanu Reeves’ dog-loving hit-man up against even more assassination attempts. Co-starring Ian McShane, Halle Berry and Anjelica Huston.
Merata: How Mum decolonised the screen is a documentary by Heperi Mita about his mother, Merata Mita – film-maker, activist and indigenous film pioneer.
And Top end wedding is a romantic comedy with a bicultural message under the laughs. Stars Miranda Tapsell (The Sapphires) and Gwilym Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody).
