FEATURES

Picture
My Year Without Sex – M
Director: Sarah Watts / 2009 / 96 min


From the Director of Look Both Ways comes MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX, an entertaining and charming comedy about a family dealing with all the big questions and even more of the small ones.

Set over one messy year, Ross and Natalie and their two kids, Louis and Ruby, navigate nits, faith, Christmas, job insecurity, footy practice, more nits, and whether they will ever have sex again.



Picture
The Boys are Back M
Dir: Scott Hicks / 2009 / 104 min

From the acclaimed director of SHINE, Scott Hicks, and inspired by a true story, THE BOYS ARE BACK is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, which intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, sportswriter (Oscar nominee Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood.
