The international success of Heavenly Creatures established Peter Jackson (Lord of The Rings trilogy) as a director to watch after his earlier cult horror films. Pauline (Melanie Lynskey) is a shy high school student in New Zealand whose drab life is transformed by the arrival of glamourous Juliet (Kate Winslet) from England. Discovering that they share the same passion for art, literature and music, the girls withdraw into their own fantasy world until their concerned parents intervene. Based on true events that shocked a nation, this is an enthralling and frightening film of teenage obsession.
As always the film will be introduced by a special guest and this month’s featurette is Regine Richard’s short: Some things are worse than being gay.
Sunday 18 September, 7.30pm, GFT
