CAPE TOWN TICKETS ARE GONE, JOZI TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Unforgiven, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Magnificent Seven.
If you’re a fan of all action Westerns, you’ll be familiar with all of those names, but how about a rousing, heroic and original South African Western?
Yup, it’s true, because Five Fingers for Marseilles is a groundbreaking movie that should make every South African pretty stoked.
This proudly South African production had its world premiere at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, was selected for the BFI Film Festival in London, and has been described as a ‘must see masterwork’, ‘visually stunning’ and ‘captivating’, so it’s one you don’t want to miss.
Fancy some really good news? We are giving away tickets to an exclusive preview screenings in Cape Town and Jozi, and each moviegoer will also get FREE popcorn and a soft drink before the movie kicks off.
We’ll get to how you enter in a bit, but for now let’s get a better idea of what the movie is all about:
Marseilles was never free, but it will be.
The community of Railway, attached to the remote town of Marseilles, are the victims of brutal police oppression and only the young ‘Five Fingers’ are willing to stand up to them. Their battle is heartfelt until hot-headed Tau (Vuyo Dabula) crosses the line and is forced to flee, leaving his brothers and friends behind, but his action has triggered a violent fight that will leave both Marseilles and the Five Fingers changed.
Twenty years later Tau, now a feared and brutal outlaw, returns. But scarred and empty, he renounces violence and returns to Marseilles desiring only peace and to reconnect with those he left behind.
It becomes clear that rather than the haven he hoped for, Marseilles is caught in the grip of a vicious new threat and to his dismay, his old allies themselves may have allowed it in.
Tau can keep his head down only so long. When he and his loved ones become direct targets, he is reluctantly compelled to fight again, once and for all.
Of course we have a trailer to show you, and if this doesn’t make you puff your chest out with pride then you’re doing it all wrong:
Touching on the importance of friendship, what it means to be human, loyalty and change, this film promises to be an absolute gem.
