Movie Meetup Choice—The Salt Path /or/ Tornado —Meet 7:15 pm

Two very different movies:

• Marianne Elliott's The Salt Path
• John Maclean's Tornado

They're so different that we're scheduling both—choose which movie you want to see and buy your own ticket from the box office or online (links below).

We'll meet up in the Watershed café/bar from 7:15 pm, to say hello and chat and then we'll split to see the two films.

The films end at roughly the same time, so afterwards we'll stop for a while to compare and share our thoughts and reactions.

ABOUT THE SALT PATH (8:20 pm, ticket)

"The Salt Path is the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn’s 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline.
"After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination."
— Watershed summary

ABOUT TORNADO (8:40 pm, ticket*)

"In 1790’s Britain, a gang are robbed of two bags of gold whilst watching a puppet show—which leads to a brutal expedition to reclaim their loot and punish the thief. A thrilling, violent tale of adrenaline-fuelled action, as Tornado fights to escape a violent death."
— from Watershed summary

"... set around a hundred years earlier than Slow West, but very much a thematic continuation: forging an alternate, heightened history, centred on colourful outsiders (vagabonds, artists, bandits), filtered through an idiosyncratic approach to genre. One could look at Tornado as Scottish western, a lean, mean, rousing tale of revenge; except, its heritage equally come from the East, namely the 16 year old Anglo-Japanese heroine ‘Tornado’ (Kōki), armed with a samurai sword. "

*Tornado is currently scheduled for Cinema 2, which has just 40 seats and may sell out.
