Once a month, Melanie Friesen invites a distinguished guest to present his/her favourite film. After the screening, audiences and guests have the opportunity to discuss the film over drinks and snacks in our spacious lounge.
Based on James Jones’ novel of the same name, THE THIN RED LINE is set during the battle of Guadalcanal during World War II, in a battle between the Americans and the Japanese.
A courageous and unique take on the terror and chaos of war, the film stands apart by getting inside the minds of the soldiers, so the film’s many internal monologues, heard in voice over, are more significant than the battle scenes. War is a series of private torments played out on a global scale, or as one character describes it as, “War don’t ennoble men. It turns them into dogs. It poisons the soul.”
Presenter: Timothy Taylor
