In Time
Friday 28 December 2012 7:30pm | M-Net Movies Premiere (103) | 16
Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there’s a catch: you’re genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it.
The rich “earn” decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day.
When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage.
Living minute to minute, the duo’s love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.
Starring: Justin Timberlake as Will Salas, Amanda Seyfried as Sylvia Weiss, Cillian Murphy as Raymond Leon
Beginners
Friday 28 December 2012 9:30pm | M-Net Movies Premiere (103) | 16
Beginners imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver. Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away.
This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 45 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energised, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend, Andy.
The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
Starring: Ewan McGregor as Oliver, Mélanie Laurent as Anna, Christopher Plummer as Hal
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
Saturday 29 December 2012 11:30pm | M-Net Movies Premiere (103) | 16
In 19th-century China, seven-year-old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong – or “old sames” – bound together for eternity.
Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language, nu shu, between the folds of a white silk fan.
In a parallel story in present day Shanghai, the laotong’s descendants, Nina and Sophia, struggle to maintain the intimacy of their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving Shanghai.
Drawing on the lessons of the past, the two modern women must understand the story of their ancestral connection, hidden from them in the folds of the
antique white silk fan, or risk losing one another forever.
Starring: Bingbing Li as Nina/Lily, Gianna Jun as Snow Flower/Sophia , Archie Kao as Sebastian
