Bookings are a little slow for “The Old Man and the Gun” with Robert Redford (whom we enjoyed in “The Sting” at our New Year social) on 4 July – you’ll miss a gentle, reflective treat which I really enjoyed, plus a neat little short film from a group of LPSB students who benefited from a grant from FILMBOX for a Steadicam to make their first short, which we’ll show before the main feature film.
Please do check out this Empire magazine 4 STAR review for “The Old Man and the Gun”:
“Robert Redford’s swansong starts with a caption that tells us this story is “also, mostly true”. The “also” is important — an indication of a tone that is warm, witty and quietly celebratory without being self-indulgent. It’s a callback to almost half a century ago, when the opening text of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid informed us “most of what follows is true”… a delightful folk story from one of the best filmmakers working today — and a fitting final turn from Redford, all easy charm and grace. It takes a lifetime of effort to look this effortless.”

With this wonderful black-and-white journey through the city of London, director Alex Barrett brings us a gloriously beautiful and enjoyable modern-day variation on the city symphonies of the 1920s urban cinema (such as the 1929 film Man With A Movie Camera). His stunning visuals, combined with James McWilliam’s stirring music, help take the spectator on a poetic journey through London, exploring its rich diversity of culture, architecture and religion. It is a meditative and blissful film that celebrates a vibrant and visually stunning city. Contains flashing images.
Please note:If you think that a black and white silent film isn’t for you, PLEASE reconsider as we’re sure that this will be a rich and life-enhancing experience and a timely reminder for us all of the beauty of London and its many communities, through outstanding cinematography and editing (on our fab new professional 30′ BIG cinema screen!) and the pleasure and power of live music – so please don’t miss this special event we want to share with you to celebrate FILMBOX’s 5th Birthday year.
