SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: Tender Mercies - Robert Duvall Tribute
DESCRIPTION:*** PLEASE NOTE DOORS OPEN AT 7.40PM SO YOU CAN ENJOY OUR BEER GARDEN PRIOR TO THE SCREENING*** \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by multi–Academy Award\, Palme d’Or\, and Golden Globe–nominated filmmaker Bruce Beresford\, and based on an original screenplay by Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Horton Foote\, (who won Oscars both for this script and for his 1962 classic screen adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird) this understated and deeply affecting film stands as an elegantly simple triumph. It also marks the only time Robert Duvall won an Academy Award\, taking home Best Actor at the 56th Oscars for this role. \n\n\n\nThe story is so compelling that it was\, in essence\, revisited in reverse with Crazy Heart\, starring Jeff Bridges (who won an Oscar for his role\, Duvall himself also appeared in the film). Where the 2009 film charts a descent into alcoholism\, this earlier 1983 made tale offers a path toward redemption. Mac Sledge\, a once-prominent country singer with a troubled past\, awakens after a night of heavy drinking on the floor of a roadside motel and resolves to change his life. What unfolds is a gentle\, reflective portrait of a man attempting to rebuild himself\, forming a bond with a young widow and her son\, reconnecting with his estranged daughter\, and confronting the lingering echoes of his former fame.  \n\n\n\nDuvall’s deft\, deeply felt performance transforms what could have been an overly sentimental narrative into a nuanced character study with lasting emotional resonance. The film’s authentic richly drawn characters\, and natural chemistry of the cast\, combined with a subtle touch of romance and a quietly inspirational\, bittersweet tone\, elevate this elegantly simple work. Powered by a superb\, Oscar-winning screenplay\, it remains a impressive testament to the strength of restrained storytelling and one of the finest achievements of Duvall’s remarkable career. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.40pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8.30pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 92 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: PG (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.40pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 8.30pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed.
