At The Movies for Wednesday 29 March 2023

AT THE MOVIES #915                TARGET AUDIENCES

 

Simon Morris looks at three movies that try and branch out of their very specific audiences – Tongan rugby fans, Irish movie-goers and fans of action films almost entirely based on stunts.

 

 

Red white and brass is the almost-true story of Tongan rugby fans who decide to form a brass band to get tickets to the 2011 World Cup.  With Suzi Cato as their music teacher.

 

 

Redemption of a rogue is a nine-more-Irish blend of black comedy, magic realism and a pub invaded by blues musicians!

 

 

And John Wick Chapter 4 boasts even more stunts and mayhem than the previous three episodes.   Starring Keanu Reeves with Ian McShane (TV’s Deadwood), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and action veteran Clancy Brown (The Highlander).
