'THE TRAVELLERS'

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

On to the comps - and wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'The Travellers', a poignant, funny and heartwarming family story from acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Beresford. Stephen Seary, a charismatic and successful stage designer, returns to his small hometown in Australia to say goodbye to his dying mother. What was to be a quick trip descends into chaos, drama, and at times downright funny moments as Stephen navigates family responsibilities, a difficult relationship with his father, old friends and past lovers, all while trying to return to Europe for a major opera contract.

'BEAST OF WAR'

INTO THE JAWS OF THE DEEP.

Also wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'Beast of War'. From cult filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner ('Wyrmwood', 'Sting'), 'Beast of War' revisits a little-known moment of World War II history. Inspired by true events off the coast of Western Australia in 1942 – when a troop carrier was sunk and survivors were attacked by sharks – the film follows a group of young servicemen adrift in the Timor Sea after a Japanese airstrike. As the remaining soldiers battle fire, exhaustion and fear in the open waters, a great white shark begins to circle the wreckage, turning the sea into a killing ground. What begins as a war film explodes into a no-holds-barred, blood-soaked tale of brotherhood, sacrifice and sheer survival. Click here now to win one of five double passes to see 'Beast of War' in cinemas, but be quick - entries close this evening.

'BILLY ELLIOT'

BREAKING THE MOULD.

'Billy Elliot' first hit cinemas 25 years ago, and even now, it still connects with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. It's a lot of kids' first "it's okay to be different" narrative - and that's why it still has an impact. Click here to stand on pointe and relive the best of 'Billy Elliot' in Chris' retrospective review.

'SE7EN'

A DARK MASTERPIECE.

30 years on, David Fincher's thriller 'Se7en' sees few films as dark as it, but also few as intoxicating, making it one of the greatest American films and a cinematic icon. It's a gothic American nightmare that holds you in a vice-like grip and never lets you go, even as the discombobulating credits roll. It's an absolutely perfect creation.
