Â鶹´«Ã½

The campus community is invited to enjoy a film screening presented by Cinechats, which is supported in part by Â鶹´«Ã½ University, Durham College, Arts Forum and the Durham Council for the Arts. Age restrictions apply, as most films are rated for those 18 years of age and older.

This week’s selection is (New Zealand, 2021).

When a discontented teenage boy is sent home from private boarding school, he learns that he and his widowed father are about to have a difficult guest, in the form of the boy's take-no-prisoners grandmother.  She has long been estranged from his father. As for Sam, he's never met her, and he'd rather keep it that way. Still crushed by the death of his mother, Sam (George Ferrier) is on a lost, self-destructive course. It doesn't help that his father (Martin Csokas) is called away to England, leaving Sam to deal with Ruth, played by the indomitable Charlotte Rampling in an award-calibre performance, on his own. Ostensibly, she has come to New Zealand, with her young private nurse (Edith Poon), to recover from a shattered leg; and, against his wishes, Sam is drafted to assist with her care.
