IN A NUTSHELL: Spend a night with Cape Town's biggest film lovers.

ABOUT THE FILM: Bloomington, Minnesota, 1967: Jewish physics lecturer Larry Gopnik is a serious and a very put-upon man. His daughter is stealing from him to save up for a nose job, his pot-head son, who gets stoned at his own bar-mitzvah, only wants him round to fix the TV aerial and his useless brother Arthur is an unwelcome house guest. But both Arthur and Larry get turfed out into a motel when Larry's wife Judy, who wants a divorce, moves her lover, Sy, into the house and even after Sy's death in a car crash they are still there. With lawyers' bills mounting for his divorce, Arthur's criminal court appearances and a land feud with a neighbour Larry is tempted to take the bribe offered by a student to give him an illegal exam pass mark. And the rabbis he visits for advice only dole out platitudes. Still God moves in mysterious - and not always pleasant - ways, as Larry and his family will find out.

THE NIGHT: Film Club is heaven for cinema lovers. The first half is a screening of a world-class script, the second is an open forum to talk about the film and anything else that may come up with fellow industry and audiences. You don't need to be anything coming in - just love film. One thing's for sure: it's a blast!

AT THE DOOR: We have SnapScan and take cash and card.
STUDENT RUSH: R25 Under 25, cash only with ID.
