Film discussion

We encourage our audience to have an opinion about the films they watch. We hope they enjoy our screenings but more importantly we'd like them to articulate what they do and don't like about what they've seen.
We believe in the power of storytelling and that all the films we show have a good story to tell while maintaining a strong point of view.
On this page we'll be sharing our thoughts about the films we've screened, and we'd encourage you to add to the discussion in the comments section.

Lonely Hearts (1982)

0 Comments

Paul Cox was a man who thought and felt deeply about love. And he knew how to tell love stories which were real, unique, and deeply moving.

His 1982 film Lonely Hearts is a very honest story about how difficult it can be to find love, but at the same time is able to console us with the idea that there really is someone for everyone out there.
Picture
Norman Kaye and Wendy Hughes are wonderful in the two central roles, and the Melbourne locations are at the same time both beautiful and mundane. Melbourne was a city that Cox loved and it is evident in the way he photographs it.

This film was a multi-award winner in its day, and at the same time is a timeless film... a film that is as enjoyable and moving today as it was when it was first released.

   About Us

We are a Townsville based incorporated community group which is bringing great films back to the big screen. We focus on films that are at least 30 years, with broad appeal and which have stood the test of time.
We encourage thought and discussion about film, and we regularly bring screen industry guests to town in order to give our members the opportunity to meet and speak with them about films and the film-making process.
