Opening Night | Thursday, November 26 | Doors Open 7:00pm | Film Begins 8:00pm
Summer cinema is back, and Luna Outdoor is celebrating the start of another sensational season with a special opening-night screening of THE FOX, the wildly funny, award-winning Australian comedy from director Dario Russo.
Adding to the excitement, audiences will enjoy an exclusive live-in-cinema introduction from Russo himself, who will share a few entertaining behind-the-scenes stories and comic anecdotes before the film begins.
Having charmed audiences at the Sydney Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival, THE FOX went on to take home the Audience Award at the Calgary Underground Film Festival, along with Best Australian Director and the Jury Award.
Starring Jai Courtney, Emily Browning, Olivia Colman, Sam Neill, Damon Herriman and an outstanding ensemble cast, this wonderfully absurd comic fable follows Nick (Jai Courtney), a wealthy rural heir whose seemingly perfect relationship takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), is cheating on him.
Desperate to fix things, Nick encounters a mysterious rogue Fox (Olivia Colman), who offers him an unusual solution: push Kori into a magical hole that promises to transform her into the perfect partner. But when the new-and-improved Kori begins displaying some rather unexpected quirks, Nick starts questioning whether he has made the right decision.
It’s a deliciously offbeat tale of love, temptation and the dangers of trying to create the perfect partner.
Opening Night Treats, Tunes and Summer Vibes
The celebrations begin well before the opening credits, with an evening of music courtesy of RTRFM DJ Foxy BEXX and a tempting selection of complimentary food and drinks.
Guests can enjoy mini-sliders from Grill’d, empanadas from Lima Cantina, pizza slices from Siena’s and freshly served churros from San Churro on arrival. There will also be cocktail tastings courtesy of Idle Hands Drinks Co., plus complimentary samples of Frudi’s frozen organic raspberries, double-coated in white and dark chocolate.*
With great food, refreshing drinks, music and a brilliant film, Luna Outdoor’s opening night promises to be the perfect way to welcome back summer.
