The Aviator

Saturday 21st January

(7.00 for 7.30)

Hindolveston Village Screen

Presents...

The Aviator

Some men dream the future. He built it.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale & Alan Alda


This Martin Scorsese film is extraordinary. It was nominated for eleven Oscars, won five and won three Golden Globes - including Best Film and Best Actor.

After inheriting great wealth, Hughes lived an extraordinary life, setting out to dominate Hollywood and the skies before becoming a notorious recluse. Leonardo DiCaprio proves an ideal choice for the tarnished American hero.

The drama recounts the years of his life from the late 1920s through the 1940s, when Hughes was directing and producing Hollywood movies and test flying innovative aircrafts he designed and created.

The Aviator follows Hughes life, loves, achievements and shortcomings. The biographical drama explores his love affairs with Hollywood legends Katherine Hepburn and Ava Gardner, and his life-long friendship with his right-hand-man, Noah Dietrich. An airplane crash and his phobias, combined to lead Hughes to withdraw from the world until his death as a mysterious, eccentric hermit.

The film is 170 minutes. There will be a short interval.

Channel4.com review....

A female Full Monty, based on a true story about middle-aged women posing nude for charity. Julie Walters and Helen Mirren star.

In 1999, 11 women from a Women's Institute branch in the north of England bucked the quaint cake-baking and flower-arranging image of the WI when they posed naked for a charity calendar. That was novel enough. But the fact that they were raising money for the hospital where one of their husbands had died of leukaemia - and that the naked ladies were aged between 50 and 70 - made them internationally known.
Calendar Girls, which is based on their story, is one of those films that Britain does so well: bittersweet without being overly sentimental, and with lashings of good honest humour. The names have been changed, the experiences and characteristics of the real women apparently chopped up and shared around; but essentially this is a faithful account of their experience, with lashings of feel-good moments. There is also a wary look at the way in which celebrity put pressures on these women, whose idea of the spotlight hitherto had been to enter their jam sponge in the local fête.
