DENDY Newtown - Samson & Delilah

Samson & Delilah (MA15+) 101 mins
5 stars from both David and Margaret. A must watch Aussie film.

This is the opening week and the film has received a fantastic welcome, so I recommend getting your tickets by 6.30 latest.

We will meet in the Dendy Newtown foyer at 6.30 and we will head inside at 6.45 to get decent seats. The film starts at 7.

As usual, if you're late and can't find us in the foyer, watch the movie and meet us in the foyer after the movie. We will regroup and head to Cafe C one block up some reflection and some cake.

Synopsis: Samson and Delilah live in an isolated world - a remote Aboriginal community in the Australian desert. In amongst a tiny collection of houses, everything here happens in a cycle. Day in and day out - nothing changes, everything stays the same and no one seems to care. Except for Samson, a cheeky fifteen year-old who yearns for the horizon. Even though boredom set in long ago, Samson attempts to occupy himself with his offbeat humour. Unable to express his desire for something more, Samson's private escape comes in a tin - he's a petrol sniffer. When a violent eruption takes place at home Samson breaks the cycle and his journey begins.
