Bringing in Baby: The Shape of Water
Cinema screening for parents, grandparents and carers of babies to enjoy a film without having to worry about baby making too much noise!
The bar will be open for drinks and snacks. A hot drink is included in the ticket price.
Drawing on classic 1950s sci-fi B-movies and the on-going fascination with Area 51 conspiracy theories, Del Toro’s tale of the inexplicable is an old-school cinematic joy. At the height of the Cold War, in a secret US laboratory, a young, mute woman begins to communicate with a strange, aquatic creature.
Intertwining sci-fi, horror and gothic romance to spellbinding effect, Del Toro’s singular vision is enhanced by Hawkins who is a marvel, showing that Elisa’s fierce desire to fight for what’s right never eclipses her sense of innocence. Love takes many shape-shifting forms and this intoxicating film is a pure celebration of tolerance and human connection.
Dir. Guillermo Del Toro, Canada/US, 2017, 123 mins. Cast. Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon.
