AT THE MOVIES #873 OSCARS – THE WRONG SORT OF HIT
Simon Morris looks back on the Academy Awards – after the dust settled what were the results? He also looks at Oscar-winner Drive my car, and two from last year’s Film Festival, including a New Zealand/Canadian sci-fi feature.
The multi-award winning Drive my car is about a man throwing himself into work after the sudden death of his wife. He rebuilds his life with the unexpected help of his new driver.
Nowhere special is a tearjerker about a dying father trying to find a suitable new family for his 4 year old son. Stars James Norton (TV’s Happy Valley), and directed by Uberto Pasolini (The full Monty).
And Night Raiders is a Canadian New Zealand co-production set in the near future. A totalitarian government kidnaps indigenous children and brainwashes them. A Cree Nation underground resistance group retaliates. Co-stars Alex Tarrant (Vegas, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power).
