Hello,We would like to invite everyone to this Sunday's Monorail Film Club. Selected and introduced by Glasgow-based composer, Craig Armstrong, The Shout by Jerzy Skolimowski is a fairly wild slice of late 1970s British cinema with a robust soundtrack by Tony Banks. The Shout is a strange, disturbing, and elusive tale of a mental patient, Alan Bates, who, having once lived with a tribe of Aborigines, has learned the secret of "the shout," which has the power to kill. Told in flashback during a cricket match that takes place on the grounds of a mental asylum, the film follows Bates's relationship with experimental composer John Hurt and his wife, Susannah York. Bates moves in with the couple, and gradually his disturbing presence takes its toll.
The Monorail Film Club runs monthly at the GFT although this year we are taking a summer break and this will be the last screening until September. You can reserve tickets here: 0141 332 6535. GFT,
