White Wall Cinema: THE OLD MAN & THE GUN
2024-04-03 19:30 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Wagner Hall
This is the remarkable true story of Forrest Tucker, who confounded the authorities and enchanted the public by staging an audacious escape from maximum-security prison San Quentin at the age of 70, in order to embark upon a string of bank heists armed with little more than his personal charisma. Robert Redford (All The President’s Men) deploys all his charm as the ageing bank robber in this movie that serves as a beautiful final starring role for the screen great and in a touching tribute to his own career.

Accompanied by a marvellous cast that includes Sissy Spacek (Carrie/Badlands), Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea / Oppenheimer) as the Police Detective tasked with catching the world’s most polite criminal, Tika Sumpter (Southside With You), Tucker’s accomplices played by the marvellous duo of Danny Glover (The Color Purple) and Tom Waits (Down By Law) as well as appearances by John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman/Tenet), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (The Wire) and Keith Carradine (Nashville). Helmed by visionary director David Lowery (responsible for A24’s A Ghost Story, and The Green Knight) this is a wonderfully poignant, funny, wistful take on the ‘Catch Me If You Can’ style crime caper.

Speaker: Neil Phillipson

Neil explains the incredible achievements of the post-Moon era – showing how the vast body of work the scientific community has done since the Moon landings has led us to the moment when we shall, at last, become a space-faring civilisation, ready to explore and colonise the Solar System and beyond – bringing vast benefits to Earth and transforming society for the better. He presents a bold vision of a better future – one in which innovation and progress flourish while war, poverty, illness and hunger are finally relegated to history.

After years of creating the game-changing special effects for movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters, and Blade Runner, legendary special effects supervisor Douglas Trumball turned his hand to directing. This, his remarkable debut, casts the irrepressible Bruce Dern (The Driver, The Burbs, Nebraska, The Hateful Eight) as Freeman Lowell, an interstellar botanist and caretaker of the last ecosystem in existence, (now that earth is barren of all flora and fauna) on a space station near Saturn. Featuring Trumbull’s trademark special effects the film is also a wonderfully heartfelt piece featuring ecological themes light years ahead of its time. A cult classic amongst film fans and critics alike, with Mark Kermode listing it as a personal favourite that he prefers over and above Kubrick’s 2001
