Golden Globe award winning film in 1978 for best motion picture. This drama is centred on the world of Ballet in America. Not only does it have a stellar cast, but draws on some of the key themes brought about by the second wave of feminism that engulfed America and Europe. Worth a ticket, just to see the legend that is Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Northern Noir: A brand new series of cultural events celebrating people, places and stories
The Jubilee Show Reel
1977, a significant year, 40 years ago and we were moving away from those post war years where we had a foot in the old world and one foot firmly into the new world, ready to launch ourselves into the 1980s. It was a significant year of street parties, Punk, murdered women in Yorkshire, British Leyland strikes, Concorde’s first flight, all topped off with Morecombe and Wise Christmas Show. But it was a bumper year for films, Star Wars, Annie Hall, Eraserhead, to name a few.
Northern Noir have handpicked three films as a backdrop to discuss some of the key themes of that glorious year: The Turning Point on 23 March, Saturday Night Fever on 6 April and Airport '77 on 27 April.
Join us for a pre-show talk at 7.15pm.
