THURSDAY FILM CLUB
25th November
Room 005
Screening begins 2 p.m.
This year I'll be dividing time between current/canon Australian cinema and films which are interesting from the point of view of the art of screenwriting.
We are kicking off the new season of Film Club with a cult classic medical thriller from 1990, boasting an impressive cast of very young Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and William Baldwin.
FLATLINERS
Directed by Joel Schumacher, the film focuses on five medical students who conduct experiments with near-death experiences in an attempt to find out if there's anything out there beyond death. As each of them has heart stopped and dies in consequence - to be revived mere minutes later - they begin to realize that they might have brought back from the land of death things they wish had stayed there.
Original concept, gripping plot and stellar performances from all involved. This film may be old but it hasn’t dated a bit.
FOCUS POINTS: character building, character flaws, protagonist’s arc
(This screening is especially recommended for screenwriting class students)
NEXT WEEK: Red Hill
