To-do: Week starting Thursday 5th August: MIFF, Still Walking, The Special Relationship, Step Up 3, Terrence Malick, Ghost in the Shell

Yeah so this film festival is still happening at the moment. You might have heard about it? Also, there’s a film called Still Walking by this pretty happening guy called Hirokazu Koreeda which is showing at ACMI this Saturday/Sunday/Monday.

If you want some light entertainment outside of MIFF, The Special Relationship opens this week. Michael Sheen plays Tony Blair like he did in The Queen except this time he finds out Darth Vader is his father. If you want something meatier, Step Up 3 (an inspiring communist agitprop film about the courage and strength of the dancing working class) also opens this week.

If you finish MIFF still thirsting for quality cinema, Astor is showing a Terrence Malick double-bill on Monday 9th: Days of Heaven (1978) and Badlands (1973). Also, Ghost in the Shell is showing on Wednesday.
