At The Movies for Wednesday 4 October 2017
AT THE MOVIES #704 PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES
Simon Morris applauds the number of New Zealand films this year, but wonders if they’re hedging their bets too much.
The Changeover is a New Zealand film with lots of promise – a book by Margaret Mahy, stars including Melanie Lynskey, Timothy Spall and Lucy Lawless – and directing couple Miranda Harcourt and Stuart McKenzie.
Flatliners is a remake of the old Julia Roberts-Keifer Sutherland thriller of the Nineties. This time round, it stars Ellen Page and Diego Luna.
And Lady Macbeth – another hit from the Film Festival – is described as “Wuthering Heights as directed by Alfred Hitchcock”! Starring the riveting Florence Pugh.
