With: Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman
As part of the Riverside Festival's oriental theme we are screening legendary Chinese
filmmaker Kar Wai Wong's first English-language film, a romantic road movie about a
woman who sets off across America in the hopes of mending her broken heart.
Elizabeth (Norah Jones) abandons her life to chase her dreams across the country,
crossing paths with a series of lost souls including a troubled cop, his estranged wife
and an embittered gambler whose combined emotional turmoil helps her gain an
understanding of herself.

Saturday 7th June at 7pm - Trinity Arts Centre
Spirited Away (PG)
In Japanese with English subtitles
Dir: Hayao Miyazaki, Japan 2003, 125 mins
Continuing with Riverside Festival's oriental theme we present this Japanese animated
treat for all the family. In the middle of her family's move to the suburbs, sullen
10-year-old Chihiro wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monsters; where
humans are changed into animals; and a bathhouse exists for 8 million gods.
Trinity Staff Choice: "The rich world of Japanese mythology is brought to life with
amazing style in Spirited Away, an imaginative introduction to Japanese Anime that is
as colourful as any Disney production."
