Part of the Kino Bar Season
Frazzled businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) just wants to get home for Thanksgiving. Forced to go cross-country by other means when his flight his cancelled, he inadvertently finds himself saddled with another holiday traveller, Del Griffiths (John Candy) - a well-meaning but endlessly irritating shower curtain ring salesman who just won't leave him alone. This John Hughes' comedy road trip classic really showcases the big-hearted brilliance of the late, great John Candy.
This event will be hosted in collaboration with ‘Mental Health in Movies’. Dan Warrender and Scott Macpherson are mental health nurses, therapists and lecturers, and following the screening, they will host an open discussion around the mental health themes in the film. You can follow them on twitter, at @MH_in_Movies. We all have mental health, and conversations through film address what is often a taboo subject in an honest and engaging way.
This screening takes place downstairs in our Kino Bar. £5 tickets, comfy seats!
