The Wizard Of Oz at BFI
Christmas wouldn't be complete without a trip over the rainbow to Oz as Dorothy's house crushes the Witch of the East which in turn stirs up trouble with the witch's sister and some scary flying monkeys. Her trip on the yellow brick road ensures that she makes some new friends, sings some songs and eventually realises that there's no place like home. Marvellous.
Disgrace
Professor David Lurie’s (John Malkovich) life falls apart after he has an impulsive affair with one of his students. Forced to resign from Cape Town University he escapes to his daughter’s farm in the Eastern Cape. Their relationship is tested when they both become victims of a vicious attack.
