Film No. 67 (2017) Beatriz at Dinner September 16th.

Film No. 67 (2017) September 16th.  11.00 AM LUNA PALACE,  Leederville.  


"It's not as if we are beheading people or blowing up babies" (Republican wife Jeana justifies their behaviour in general).






Another addition to the contemporary morality tale this time highlighting the post Trump era. Beatriz (Salma Hayek), for many, would profile as the perfect dinner guest. She's beautiful, intelligent, sensitive and cares for the sick. But what if, by chance, she sits at a dinner table with Republicans who care mostly about money and themselves? there's even a Donald Trump type character  in the form of John Lithgow displaying classic trade mark psychopathic tendencies right down to the scene where he proudly displays a photograph of a protected beast he'd shot. The final 10 minutes squeezes air from this thought provoking film. Beatriz is good, I was hoping for greatness. 9GUMS.
