 Wild Strawberries, our bimonthly film club for the over 55s.Despite having John Travolta and Denzel Washington in the leading roles, the 2009 remake of the subway hijack drama hadn’t a patch on this, the 1974 original, starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. New York’s police department and transport systems are seen in all their gritty and pressurised glory as the police try to buy time with the colour-codenamed gangsters who are holding the subway train and passengers to ransom. How can they possibly escape? Tension mounts in this thrilling film that lets you get to know the characters both above and below ground as the minutes tick by. €4 including complementary tea/coffee before the film. Please note: tickets for April’s film will be available on Wild Strawberries days in March. |
