DO NOT miss out on tickets to JCVD. The film re-invents Jean-Claude Van Damme, who plays... himself!
In an alternate reality, as an out of luck actor, he's out of money, his agent can't find him a decent production, and the judge in a custody battle is inclined to give custody of his daughter over to his ex-wife. He returns to his childhood home of Brussels: where hes still considered a national icon. In the most remarkable career resurrection since John Travolta meditated on the cheeseburger or Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for public office, Van Damme even pulls off a six-minute, one-take monologue in this wildly hilarious and innovative film.

Could you imagine Penelope Cruz, Dennis Hopper, Ben Kinglsey AND Debbie Harry in a film together?
Well, wait no longer. We present the Australian Premiere of Elegy. Based on Philip Roth’s novel, The Dying Animal, this is the story of a charismatic professor (Ben Kingsley) who glories in the pursuit of his female students but never lets any woman get too close. Spanish director Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me) directs a great cast with humanistic warmth, wry wit and erotic intensity. Elegy explores the power of beauty to blind, to reveal and to transform.
