Films on Film: Gangs of New York - 35mm Presentation (15)
Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young Irish immigrant released from prison. He returns to the Five Points seeking revenge against his father's killer, William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), a powerful anti-immigrant gang leader. He knows that revenge can only be attained by infiltrating Cutting's inner circle. Amsterdam's journey becomes a fight for personal survival and to find a place for the Irish people in 1860's New York.
The Loft Movie Theatre is proud to present a one-night special screening of the 1977 classic coming-of-age movie Saturday Night Fever.
When 19-year-old paint-store clerk Tony Manero (John Travolta) slips into his finest threads and heads for the discotheque, he becomes the undisputed king of the dancefloor. But beyond the pulsing music and coloured lights, Tony is wrestling with family pressures, complicated relationships, and a growing sense that there has to be more to life than the grimy streets and dead-end routines waiting outside.
Director John Badham’s landmark film captures the grit and glitter of 1970s Brooklyn, and its cultural and social impact still reverberates today. With a legendary Bee Gees soundtrack, a career-making performance from Travolta, and a story much deeper and darker than its pop-culture reputation suggests, Saturday Night Fever is an iconic slice of ’70s cinema not to be missed on the big screen!
