One Battle After Another - Film Screening
Saturday 24 January from 7:45pm to 10:30pm
Washed-up revolutionary Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti).
When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.
A leading favourite for multiple Oscar nominations, Academy nominee and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson builds on a career of critically acclaimed films (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, Boogie Nights) with a hugely entertaining, suspense-driven political thriller.
Loosely adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, One Battle After Another features career-best performances from DiCaprio and Penn, and a five-star debut from breakout star Chase Infiniti, with a freewheeling score from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood.
