THE DEER HUNTER<br />
The Deer Hunter, Cimino’s second movie, can, and<br />
should, be read as an epic treatise on endurance and,<br />
in particular, the indomitable spirit of the American<br />
male, tracing the classic human parabola from<br />
wedding bliss to funeral blues.<br />
‘One of the few great films of the decade’<br />
Time Out<br />
Mon 17 Feb / Savoy 2 / 6.30pm / 182 minutes<br />
Director: Michael Cimino 1978 US<br />
Writer: Deric Washburn<br />
Cast: Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, John Cazale<br />
Winner, Best Film & Best Director, Academy Awards®<br />
The Deer Hunter is distinguished by quite audacious<br />
transitions from light to dark. The notorious Russian<br />
Roulette sequence – where POWs Michael (Robert<br />
De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken) and Steven (John<br />
Savage) must face off against each other for the<br />
amusement of their Viet-Cong captors – was one<br />
of the most terrifying scenes in celluloid history. In<br />
a movie spoilt for stand-out performances – Meryl<br />
Streep’s luminous debut, John Cazale’s last screen<br />
appearance, Christopher Walken’s Oscar-winning<br />
breakthrough – De Niro is always central.<br />
From the justly ubiquitous theme music to Vilmos<br />
Zsigmond’s rich and lyrical cinematography, The Deer<br />
Hunter is a film of enormous, if mostly melancholy,<br />
beauty. 35 years on, The Deer Hunter deserves to<br />
be reclaimed as one of the most powerful humanist<br />
tracts ever committed to celluloid.<br />

THE FOOD GUIDE TO LOVE<br />
Precocious culinary celebrity Oliver (Richard Coyle)<br />
lives his life in a succession of relationships that last<br />
precisely six months. When his latest girlfriend kicks<br />
him out (naked) onto the street he meets beautiful<br />
and fiery Spaniard Bibiana (Leonor Watling), whose<br />
own relationship is in the process of imploding.<br />
Despite having little in common their relationship<br />
starts well; he teaches her about his passion for<br />
food and she opens his eyes to a world beyond the<br />
kitchen. But as the six-month deadline approaches<br />
Oliver gets cold feet and a bumpy ride begins.<br />
